We explore the motivations behind the implementation of openBIM and its integral role in advancing the built asset industry. The built environment is immense and complex, it is also a huge responsibility. Our industry directly impacts it, designing, creating and maintaining it. In an era where what we all need is a better built environment, openBIM stands out as a key enabler. Together we will imagine a future where our industry works more effectively, efficiently and with more c...
How exactly does artificial intelligence work and what can you use it for in the geomatics domain? Using real-life examples from our projects, they demonstrate how you can use AI to gain new insights and increase efficiency by automating your data processing workflows.We explore how GeoAI is fusing spatial data science and Geomatics technology to help automate the extraction, classification, and analysis of all types of spatial or non-spatial data. Learn how GeoAI can detect clusters, ...
Accurate mapping of road networks is essential for navigation, disaster response, and urban planning. Traditional methods relying on remote sensing images, Lidar data, and GPS trajectories are hampered by time-consuming manual updates and incomplete extraction due to obstructions from trees, buildings, and shadows. However, recent advancements in deep learning models have shown promise in improving road mapping and automating the detection of missing roads.This study uses a transfer le...
Large-scale habitat inventories are necessary for understanding how human land-use, natural disturbances (e.g., fire) and climate change are influencing ecological processes, species declines and how restoration can address these changes. Within the boreal forest of Alberta, Canada anthropogenic habitat alteration, also referred to as human footprint or the physical disturbance of a landscape as a result of human activity, covers over 19% of the land area. Much of this human footprint is not ...
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...
The integration of AI in infrastructure modeling has the potential to revolutionize decision-making processes by providing accurate predictions, identifying vulnerabilities, and optimizing resource utilization.The increasing complexity of modern infrastructure systems, coupled with growing demands on utilities, has necessitated the adoption of advanced analytical techniques. This panel discussion brings together ideas from acad...
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 ...
Stand Out in a Crowded Market In a world overflowing with information, every company needs a compelling marketing strategy to stand out. It’s not enough to simply analyze and map data—you need to tell its story in a way that truly resonates with people. But let’s face it—translating complex geospatial data into engaging content can be a challenge.

Case Study: How DOTs and Utility owners took a Proactive Approach to Protect Underground Pipeline Assets Due to aging infrastructure and lack of accurate utility location information resulting in huge increased operational risk & especially at waterway, transportation, and ROW utility crossings. Utility owners understand the significant underground congestion and utility conflicts which result in future damages and the value the importance of geo location of UNLOCA...
Photogrammetry is not just limited to aerial platforms. Modern mobile devices contain high-quality cameras and increasingly have LiDAR and depth sensors built in. When combined with high-accuracy GNSS systems, these mobile devices can quickly collect accurate data for utilities, infrastructure, inspection, as-builts, construction, and more. Utilizing these readily available devices can reduce project delays, capture better documentation of utilities, and lay the foundations for digital infras...
Dillon was retained by the Government of Nunavut to perform a Needs Assessment for the rehabilitation of the Runway 13-31, Taxiway A (Alpha), Taxiway C (Charlie), Apron A, and Apron C of the Rankin Inlet Airport.The project included pavement rehabilitation and geotechnical investigations for Runway 13-31, which is a 6000’ x 150’ asphalt paved runway, along with Phase I ...
In countries that have very accurate and accessible map records, utility damage events are a rare occurrence. Japan with a one third of the population of the US has less than 200 line strikes per year. We will discuss how creating, sharing, and using accurate maps is critical in reducing damage to buried infrastructure.
With the increasing focus on damage prevention, public safety concerns, and environmental damage due to underground utility strikes, it has become more critical to accuracy locate, store and be able to visualize subsurface utilities. Several key technical details are discussed when implementing a subsurface mapping system from data collection to the use of machine learning for 3D modelling and visualization. The ability to make safe and effective decisions for i...
For the built environment, digitalization is a key sustainability enabler. It helps stakeholders across the construction sector increase productivity and transparency while reducing emissions, resource consumption and costs, and adding digital tools that can help companies establish and optimize their sustainability performance.
