Ottawa GG: Geoff Zeiss Talk: Mapping Underground Infrastructure

GoGeomatics Ottawa hosts world renowned location technology expert: Geoff Zeiss.

Geoff Zeiss has more than 20 years experience in the geospatial software industry and 15 years developing enterprise geospatial solutions for the utilities, communications, and public works industries. His particular interests include the convergence of BIM, CAD, geospatial, and 3D. Geoff received the Geospatial Ambassador Award at Geospatial World Forum 2014.

His talk for the group is "Mapping Underground Infrastructure: The next Frontier of Remote Sensing"

Abstract: The next frontier in remote sensing technology is mapping below ground including geology and utility and transportation infrastructure. The biggest source of highway construction project delays are unknown or inaccurately known underground utility infrastructure. Utility hits cost the U.S. economy an estimates $1.5 trillion in direct costs annually and many times that in indirect costs. The latest remote sensing technologies for geolocating underground infrastructure are making it easier to map underground infrastructure and the development and improvement of standards for sharing underground infrastructure location information has been initiated by the OGC, ASCE, and others.

We hope you will join us for the talk. As always GoGeomatics socials are fun free networking events.
