Cairo Governor Khaled Abdel Aal chaired Sunday the Cairo Utility Data Center's board meeting to review the center's achievements and projects during 2021.
During the meeting, Abdel Aal commends the workers' efforts, asserting that the Cairo Utility Data Center is one of the capital's most important projects that had a key role and a significant contribution to Cairo's ongoing national projects, such as the monorail project, digital transformation project, utility detection in the Maspero area, construction of new bridges across Cairo, and Historical Cairo development project.
For her part, Head of the Utility Data Center Eng. Aml Mohammad Hanfi said that the center and its branches across Cairo are responsible for survey works needed for extracting construction permits in accordance with the new construction regulations. It also offers GIS databases and training courses on information systems and surveys.
The Cairo Utility Data Center was built in 1988 and is one of Egypt's leading data centers that uses GIS technology in the fields of infrastructure and utilities detection. Moreover, it is the first of its kind in the Middle East and Africa as it has the largest database of Greater Cairo's utility network.
The center is also responsible for survey works for surface and underground utilities and cadastral maps to protect underground utilities' investments and protect them from any damage or acts of vandalism. It also secures utilities across Cairo and contributes to developing road networks by providing accurate data on underground utilities.
