Cadastre

Overview

Cadastral projects have been a core activity of Astrolabe Engineering since its founding, through its involvement in various Greek National Cadastre projects (Cadastral Studies and provision of related cadastral office operation services for the creation of National Cadastre).

Through these activities we have developed our expertise and know-how on the specific technical and legal requirements the project implies and we have evolved our workflows, methodologies and tools to ensure the timely and successful completion of large-scale cadastral projects. The company has been active in the development of specialized software solutions based on GIS and RDBMS platforms to efficiently support the elaboration of the projects.

Apart from the Greek National Cadastre, for every project which demands surveying, registration, management or arrangement of properties, Astrolabe Engineering offers total solution services including:

• Cadastral mapping and cadastral databases development — Production of official cadastral plans and structured databases recording property boundaries, ownership details and legal rights, in compliance with any project’s specifications.
• Development of Land Information Systems — Design and implementation of GIS-based platforms for managing, querying and visualizing property and land-rights data — including web portals for stakeholder access and public consultation.
• Cadastral surveys for expropriation and compensation purposes — Identification and precise measurement of properties intersected by infrastructure corridors, with full ownership records and technical documentation for expropriation proceedings and compensation calculations.
• Property Management applications — Custom spatial and database tools for organizations managing large real-estate or land-asset portfolios: ownership tracking, rights management and property transaction workflows.

Projects

In summary, for the pilot and first main phase of Greek Cadastre we have processed more than 200.000 legal rights on 60.000 parcels and completed projects in 8 municipalities within the Greek territory:

• Greek Cadastral project A0-30 (3 municipalities in Rethimno prefecture)
• Greek Cadastral project M1-09 (5 municipalities in Kozani and Florina prefectures) processed.

From 2015 to 2022, Astrolabe Engineering — as a partner in the Ktimatognomon II J/V — completed the KT2-08 cadastral project covering Pella and Skydra municipalities of Pella prefecture: 39 local communities, 62 settlements, and over 300,000 legal rights processed. Dedicated field and office teams were maintained throughout, supported by purpose-built cadastral software.
