At the GeoIgnite virtual event Ryan Hamilton, Senior Manager 3D Products, at Maxar described a remarkable project Globe in 3D to create a 3D model for the earth’s entire landmass using the petabytes of 50 […]
Modern reality capture technology is not only providing a high accuracy alternative to paper as-builts, but is also being used to capture the location of underground utilities and other infrastructure exposed during during excavation or […]
Canada plans to introduce in 2021 certification that would allow pilots to undertake beyond visual line of site (BVLOS) flights in isolated areas without the need for a waiver. This opens the possibility of more […]
Without accurate maps of underground infrastructure, every construction project runs a significant risk of schedule and budget overruns and causing injuries and fatalities to workers and the public. Underground utility damage also represents a drag […]
Digital logistics management is standard practice in manufacturing and is best know for enabling just in time delivery (JIT). Now a company in Scandinavia has applied digital logistics management to construction. Experience in applying this […]
Increasingly modern reality capture technology is being applied to mapping underground infrastructure. There are two use cases where LiDAR scanning or photogrammetry can be applied two underground infrastructure. The first is when new utility infrastructure […]
Technologies such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) or acoustic locating for detecting underground utilities involve directing some type of signal, electromagnetic or acoustic, into the ground and measuring the reflection off underground objects. A major […]
Open data has been gathering momentum among governments. First enunciated in the United States, the principle that citizens should not be required to pay twice for government data, free and open access to government geospatial […]
