Survey Plan On-line Checker (SPOC), is a web based plan checking system that is designed to provide Alberta Land Surveyors and their staff the ability to verify that the digital CAD file meets Alberta Land Titles specifications. This system assists Land Titles staff in the quality assurance of digital CAD file submissions and improves the quality of documents to be registered.
SPOC provides three essential quality assurance functions. First, a Structure check provides the user with acknowledgement that the submitted CAD file meets the required layer and element structure. Second, the CAD file is processed through a Georeference check tool to ensure the CAD file is georeferenced accurately and is consistent with the legal land description, projection and datum specified in the metadata. And third, a Dimension check whereby line lengths are compared with their associated annotated dimension text.
Once these checks are complete, and if the file has met the quality requirements, it is uploaded to a map viewer. The user is then able to view their plan relative to the Alberta cadastral fabric. This gives the surveyor the opportunity to check that surrounding features have been considered prior to submitting the plan for registration. Once this has been verified, an email is returned to the user with a link to access the required files for Land Titles.
