Hydrospatial Advances

The new Canadian Hydrospatial Network (CHN) is set to replace the National Hydrographic Network (NHN) for Canada. Designed for improved use in hydrological models, the CHN is analysis ready with full-network traversing ability, and value-added attributes such as stream order. The CHN is also created from higher-resolution source data and better aligned to elevation than the NHN, where possible, and has been streamlined for production and maintenance.Work is on-going to refine methods a...

Geomatics for the Public Good

Too often, when discussing the value proposition of geospatial data, we focus in on raw data or output products without spending a lot of time in the juicy middle of data throughputs.   That is to say that modern geospatial is leaving a lot of value on the table and thus limiting our ability to good with our data by: -> Focusing too heavily on the capturing aspect of geospatial technologies;-> Ignoring or discounting analytical capabilities of geospatial technologie...

buildingSMART Canada Annual BIM Summit

30 years ago, a small group of engineers came together to work on the then difficult problem of interoperable technology, systems and data.  These visionaries formed the Open Geospatial Consortium which has helped the world figure out how to collect, process, and share geospatial data over the internet and across a wide variety of technology systems.  Today, with the proliferation of technology types, sensors and a...

buildingSMART Canada Annual BIM Summit

Despite the rhetoric surrounding the use of building information modelling (BIM) to enhance collaboration by connecting people and data, the status quo is to work with proprietary solutions and closed file formats, limiting accessibility and interoperability. Additionally, the increasing complexity of projects in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry requires technology that integrates data at a range of scales, from asset to city, and beyond. To address ...

Geospatial AI

Today, digital twins, autonomy and artificial intelligence (AI) dominate the lexicon of the geomatics industry. These capabilities provide significant productivity advantages to our profession, but our domain content and knowledge are critical to their success. These tools will change the way we work and transform the industry. However, they will not replace us, but rather change our role. This is no different than when the EDM, total station, CAD, or GPS became part of our professional lives...

Subsurface Utility Engineering Advances

Local governments have been updating their asset inventories to comply with the TCA legislation since the early 2000s, paying particular attention to the attributes, locations, ages and conditions of their assets. However, infrastructure changes constantly due to capital projects and land development, especially in fast-growing municipalities like Kelowna. Collecting accurate and complete information on new assets has been a major challenge, mainly due to limited staff resources. To address t...
