Kokeb Geomatics Engineering is a specialised geospatial and surveying services unit delivering engineering-grade spatial data, surveys, and geospatial intelligence to support infrastructure development, mining, construction, utilities, agriculture, and land administration across Zambia.
Kokeb combines engineering discipline, regulatory compliance, and modern geospatial technologies to deliver decision-ready spatial data that is reliable and operationally relevant. This division is a genuine differentiator: few contractors in Zambia maintain an in-house geomatics function of this depth.
What Makes Kokeb Geomatics Different
Engineering Discipline
Geomatics outputs produced under engineering governance — not just data collection, but interpreted, quality-controlled results that support real decisions.
Modern Technology
UAV/drone platforms, GNSS receivers, total stations, and GIS software — current-generation technology operated by trained professionals.
Multi-Site Capacity
Capacity to operate across multiple projects simultaneously — with distributed teams and remote coordination capability.
Internal Integration
Geomatics services integrated across Kokeb's civil, building, electrical, and drilling projects — providing setting out, QA, and as-built surveys internally.
Market Segments Served
The division serves: public sector agencies and government programmes; mining and quarry operations; construction and civil engineering contractors; real estate and land development companies; utilities and infrastructure operators; and agriculture and environmental programmes.
UAV-based remote sensing and photogrammetry provide rapid, high-accuracy spatial data across large areas — at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional ground-based survey methods. Kokeb's drone mapping capability delivers professional-grade outputs for planning, design, and operational monitoring.
Drone Mapping Services
Large-Scale Topographic Mapping
Drone-based capture and processing producing orthomosaics, DTMs, DSMs, contours, spot heights, and CAD/GIS-ready 3D surface files for planning and design.
Road & Corridor Mapping
Mapping of linear road corridors — centreline layers, drainage features, access points, and wayleave plan maps for design, upgrade, and submission packs.
Digital Terrain & Surface Modelling
DTMs representing bare-earth terrain and DSMs including vegetation, buildings, and stockpiles — for earthworks planning, drainage design, and grading.
Volumetric Analysis
Survey-grade measurement of stockpile and excavation volumes — for production tracking, contractor payment certification, and reconciliation.
Change Detection & Monitoring
Repeat drone surveys to detect and quantify changes over time — for mine progression, earthworks tracking, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure condition assessment.
Satellite Data Processing
Processing and interpretation of satellite imagery for large-area monitoring — suitable for mining licence areas, agricultural programmes, and government land management.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) transform raw spatial data into organised, queryable, and decision-ready information. Kokeb's GIS capability goes beyond mapping — we build spatial intelligence systems that answer business questions and support operational management.
GIS Services
Geodatabase Design
Structured spatial databases storing maps, assets, and location-based records — defining how data is organised, updated, secured, and shared across teams.
Decision-Support Mapping
Maps and spatial analysis outputs designed to answer specific business questions — suitability mapping, constraint analysis, and ranked zone outputs.
Land Use Planning
Spatial planning of land parcels for development — zoning, layout logic, and land use allocations supporting planning approvals and phased development.
Geodata Visualisation
Visual tools presenting maps, metrics, and project status without requiring specialist GIS software — for operations and management teams.
Land Use Reports
Concise reports combining maps and plain-language explanations of current land use, constraints, and planning implications for due diligence and investment decisions.
Agricultural Planning
Spatial data for farm planning, field zoning, and performance monitoring — management zone maps, terrain indicators, and GIS layers for commercial agriculture.
Engineering surveying is the spatial backbone of construction — ensuring every element is built in the right place, at the right level, to the right dimensions. Kokeb's engineering surveying capability supports all stages of infrastructure project delivery, from setting out through to as-built documentation.
Engineering Survey Services
Structural Setting Out
Transferring design positions to the physical site — setting out foundations, structural works, and infrastructure with full QA documentation.
Site Control Establishment
Stable reference control points ensuring every survey across a project is tied to a consistent coordinate and elevation system.
Boundary Verification
Field verification of property boundaries — confirming positions and documenting discrepancies to reduce land dispute risk for development projects.
As-Built Surveys
Surveying completed construction against design intent — producing CAD/GIS records for handover, payment certification, and maintenance planning.
Deformation Monitoring
Repeat measurement of structures and ground to detect movement — supporting safety management for slopes, tailings, and sensitive infrastructure.
Point Cloud Modelling
Dense 3D site representation for measurement, modelling, and engineering coordination — supporting design integration and existing condition documentation.
Survey Quality Assurance
All Kokeb survey outputs are produced under a structured QA process — data consistency validation, coordinate system checks, non-conformance reporting, and full audit trail documentation. Survey QA is not an afterthought in our process — it is the mechanism by which our clients can trust that the data they receive is accurate, complete, and fit for its intended purpose.
Understanding how water moves across and through the landscape is fundamental to designing resilient infrastructure, managing environmental risk, and protecting assets from flood damage. Kokeb's hydrological mapping capability provides the spatial intelligence needed for informed decisions about drainage, flood risk, and site layout.
Hydrological & Utility Services
Utility Network Mapping
Mapping of fibre, electricity, and underground pipes — reliable location records for operations, maintenance, and construction planning to reduce excavation damage risk.
Flood Risk Analysis
Assessment of flood likelihood based on terrain, drainage paths, and conditions — supporting site selection, drainage design, and wet-season business continuity.
Surface Run-Off Modelling
Spatial assessment of rainfall movement across the ground — supporting drainage planning, erosion control, and infrastructure protection across project types.
Catchment Analysis
Delineation and analysis of drainage catchments to quantify flow volumes and peak flows — for culvert sizing, retention design, and environmental impact assessment.
What We Need to Mobilise
To scope and price Geomatics services accurately, we typically require:
- Project area — location description and/or boundary file
- Purpose — design, construction, compliance, or monitoring
- Required deliverables and formats (PDF, CAD, GIS layers, or reports)
- Preferred coordinate system and datum (WGS84, Arc1950, or other)
- Timeline and key deadlines
- Any existing records — prior surveys, drawings, or asset registers
- Site access and safety requirements
Contact Kokeb Geomatics Engineering to discuss your surveying, mapping, or spatial analytics requirements. We respond promptly with an indicative scope and fee estimate for standard services.
Enquiry Information Needed
- Service type required (drone mapping, GIS, engineering survey, hydrological, or combination)
- Project location — province, district, and site description
- Approximate project area (hectares or linear kilometres for corridors)
- Required outputs and file formats
- Preferred delivery timeline
- Client sector and project type (mining, infrastructure, agriculture, government, or private)
