Utility locates and relocation work have historically been the cause of construction delays on public construction projects, particularly in urban areas with dense population and the commensurate underground utility and telecom infrastructure. In recent bills […]
You can see the program for April 29 and 30 and register here. Speaker lineup One of the early innovators in applying LiDAR to mapping underground pipelines, Joseph Hlady, President at Lux Modus in Calgary, […]
Return on investment (ROI) studies of subsurface engineering utility engineering (SUE) surveys applied to highway construction projects conducted since the late 1990s have consistently revealed a large return-on-investment from conducting SUE surveys as part of […]
I was invited to participate in a meeting of the European Underground Infrastructure Community this morning. I heard about very important advances in capturing, capturing and sharing location information (maps) about underground infrastructure that are […]
Geospatial and BIM have been identified as key technologies in the digital transformation of the global construction sector which has been underperforming for decades. A recent report estimates the size of the contribution of geospatial+BIM […]
Engineering design is typically done on a desktop computer, using CAD or BIM software. Models are viewed in 3D or 2D on a monitor. Increasingly they can be viewed in mixed reality. At a SPAR3D […]
