Geoff has been tracking the contribution of geospatial technology to the digitization of construction, operation and maintenance of energy, building and transportation infrastructure - primarily in his blog “Between The Poles”, on LinkedIn and Geospatial World. From 2014 to 2016 Geoff was Editor for Energy and Building with Geospatial Media. Prior to that Geoff was responsible for thought leadership, evangelization, and industry messaging for the utility industry program at Autodesk. Geoff Zeiss has more than 20 years experience in the geospatial IT industry working with utilities, communications, and public works in enterprise IT around the world. In his early career, he was responsible for some of the largest successful implementations of location-aware enterprise design and records management software in the utility and telecommunications sectors. In 2004, he received a global technology award from Oracle Corporation for technical innovation and leadership in the use of Oracle. In recognition of his efforts to increase the awareness of geospatial data and technologies in utilities and construction, Geoff received the Geospatial Ambassador Award at Geospatial World Forum 2014 in Geneva, Switzerland. He actively supports open standards as a director of the Open Geospatial Consortium and contributed to the founding of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation in 2005/2006.

The UK Government as part of its building information modeling (BIM) initiative has said repeatedly that it expects the big payoff of a digital model will be during operations and maintenance, which typically represents 80% of the cost of a facility. Companies who do design, build, finance, and maintain, or design, build, operate, or PPP projects often employ a full lifecycle BIM + geospatial strategy. For example, Crossrail appears to be the first major project that may be able to provide su...

Awareness of the human and economic cost of not knowing the location of underground utilities and other infrastructure has grown dramatically in the last few years. At this forum we will hear from leaders of relatively new companies or startups that are providing technology that has begun to seriously impact our ability to detect, record and share accurate location data about underground infrastructure. We will also hear about the latest developments in standards including the latest ASCE ...

The U.S. reference system modernization effort will replace the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) with a new North American Terrestrial Reference Frame (NATRF2022), creating 1.3 to 1.5 m horizontal coordinate differences at the Canada–U.S. border with respect to Canada’s NAD83(CSRS). Never before have such significant differences existed between our two countries’ reference frames.There are compelling reasons for Canada to follow suit and adopt the NATRF2022 frame as our ...
Presented by: Jake Dickinson & John Roos Abstract: As shrinking polar ice creates new opportunities for resource exploration and shipping routes, the importance for Arctic nations to monitor the ongoing expansion in the Arctic is ever increasing. Additionally, climate change continues to impact people and the environment. High resolution satellite imagery remains one of the most effective means of monitoring inaccessible and de...

Gyroscopic mapping of underground ducts and pipes has been around for a few decades now, and it continues to gain traction amongst the worlds' utilities as an accurate and unique technology. Nevertheless, the market perception until now is that Gyro-mapping, as it's also often referred to, is more expensive than traditional mapping and locating technologies. And although that perception is true, it is not due to the cost of the technology, but rather...
As the world continues to grow and urbanize, new urban infrastructure is being constructed at an unprecedented rate while old world infrastructure is being replaced and upgraded. This has lead to a greater demand for accurate and current utility locating and mapping. This demand is further exacerbated by the fact that infrastructure construction costs continue to rise and the slightest delay or extra cost associated with insufficient utility locating has an...
This presentation will be focusing on the advancement of "Cloud and Mobile" technologies that are currenlty being used to easily and accurately map assets and underground utilities that can be shared, re-located and leveraged thoughout the many project phases.It is critical that data accruacy and integrity is leveraged and accumulated throughout every phase of the BIM procress, creating a live "digital twin" all the way back to t...
Utilities and their Contractor Organizations have traditionally been responsible for the safe and effective construction of new underground facilities. An important aspect of the construction process is the accurate documentation and location of the newly installed assets for update into the Utilities’ Geographic Information Systems, Work Management Systems and Asset Repositories. This process is typically performed via paper-based folders that may contain missing or incorrect attribute da...

Utility and energy buried pipelines represent an extensive underground network covering most of a country's territory. Their precise lateral, horizontal positioning along with their depth of cover is a critical element of any operator's GIS. It enables to deploy more accurate pipeline predictive maintenance models and avoid third party interferences. The latter being identified as one of the main causes of pipeline failures. The 2020 CGA Dirt report states that 3...
