We live in a world where the skill required to interpret maps and engineering drawings is decreasing while the density of underground networks is increasing. The result is increased collateral damage, network outages and poor health & safety outcomes for our field workers.Today, we need better ways to accurately capture and comprehend the location and nature of those networks that are out of site under our feet. AR (Augmented...

GIS platforms are typically populated with XYZ coordinates with a point spacing of 1 meter or more. in fact, most traditional land surveying techniques, like GPS, often have a point spacing of 3 meters or more, and that is understandable given the procedure to obtain these points. But have you ever wondered what amount of detail is lost when increasing the point frequency? Well, in this seminar, Otto Ballintijn will demonstrate the impact point frequency has on pipe detail usin...

For decades, cities have required all utilities, communication providers and municipal services providers to build their facilities below ground. In addition, the increase in severe natural disaster conditions have driven traditional overhead utilities to revise their construction standards and build their new facilities underground. As the proliferation of underground construction continues, all utility groups must improve their procedures to ensure that any newly installed fa...
