Surveying

We conduct official surveys in the canton, manage and expand the ÖREB-cadaster (the cadaster of public-law restrictions on landownership), and provide geomatics services to the canton.

Topics

We aim to conduct official surveys in the canton of Zug, and our projects include renewing or updating existing surveys. Our employees maintain the basic survey points and produce canton-wide aerial photographs and elevation models. We also offer surveying services to various cantonal authorities. To maintain a high standard of work, we work with skilled and motivated employees, modern equipment and specialized applications.

As the cadastral authority (KVS), we are creating and continually developing the cadaster of public landownership restrictions in the canton of Zug.

Our two main areas of work are official surveying and the ÖREB-cadaster (the cadaster of public-law restrictions on landownership).

About us

Recognizing the potential of geoinformation, the canton of Zug established a special department for it in 1994. In 2004, ZugMap.ch became one of the first online map portals available. Today, the Geoinformation Department is the canton's competence center for geoinformation.

We consider ourselves a future-oriented service, and link useful data from the public sector and make it accessible openly and for free. As a part of the administration, we want to be a pioneer in providing modern digital services.

We serve as the foundation for the cantonal geoinformation system and promote the widespread use of available geodata. This includes ZugMap.ch, freely available map services, and open interfaces. The high-performance geodata infrastructure is built using modern IT technology and relies heavily on open-source software components.
