He continued as, both private and public surveyors will commence their operations by using the Continuously Operation Reference Stations and all data collected in the field will be safe for easier identification by the public.
โAny surveyors neither public nor private are urge to learn how to use the CORS system or will never be allowed to conduct survey any longer” the Commissioner for Land Administration Mr. Josephus Burgee Sr. noted.
Meanwhile, the Director for Land Department, Mr. C. Sylvester N. Bundoo stated their new technological system is supported by the Liberia telecommunications network and powered by solar system and can cover as far as 50 kilometers from its station.
