Japanese experts have met with the Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA) to assess the demand and interest in the CORS satellite land surveying system among construction companies that are members of the association.

Held on 1 April, the meeting aimed to collect more input from the private sector for the project before the actual implementation.

This project is a collaboration between the Ministry of Land Management, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction and the Japanese government through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

After completing the study and demand assessment, JICA will request grant aid from its government to establish the system nationwide in Cambodia.

CCA Secretariat General Manager Mr Chhiv expressed his strong interest in this system, stating that it will be very beneficial for construction and land management in Cambodia for both private and public sectors.

Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) are designed to help make measurements more accurate, speed up land registration nationwide, assist land locations pin-pointing work, and accelerate surveying work for irrigation and general construction buildings.

The station is also used to control construction machinery and check high-rise buildings’ condition to prevent them from collapsing.
