Surveying for Reclamation Land in New Valley
New Valley is Egypt's largest governorate by area, and most work there relates to land reclamation around the oases and in East Owainat: farm and well boundaries and irrigation lines. Distances are long, so planning the visit before travelling makes a real difference to cost.
What we most often do here
- Reclamation and farm boundary surveys
- Surveys of wells and irrigation lines
- Levelling for irrigation design and grading
- Surveys and setting out for large farm projects
Technical note
New Valley lies in UTM zone 35 و36 شمال (حسب موقع الواحة) and in the 35N and 36N (depending on the oasis) of the Egyptian grid. We agree the coordinate system of the deliverables at the start so the plans match what the authority requires.

Services available in New Valley
- Certified land survey: A certified survey measures a plot or building on site and produces a drawing of its boundaries, lengths, area and coordinates, in a form accepted by the body you will submit it to: the real-estate registry, the district office, the permit authority, or a court in a boundary dispute.
- Topographic surveying: A topographic survey turns a site into a map of the ground shape, its levels and everything visible on it, such as roads, buildings and utilities.
- Setting out: A small setting-out error can put a column in the wrong place and lead to demolition and rework.
- Grid levelling: Grid levelling measures ground levels on a regular grid, showing where the land is high or low and how much cut or fill is needed to reach the design level.
- Quantity surveying: A quantity take-off answers a simple question: what will be built, and how much of it? A clear table helps owners compare bids, helps contractors price and track work, and bases payment reviews on measurement instead of estimates..
- As-built surveys: Many existing buildings have no drawings, or drawings that differ from what was built.
- Land and boundary surveys: Before buying, dividing or building on land, you need to know its corners and real area on the ground.

Which UTM zone will I receive?
Zone 35 or 36 depending on the oasis; we fix one zone for the whole project and state it on the plans.
