RICHMOND, Va., June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Woolpert has designed the Cityworks GeoPhoto Tool to enable field crews and end users to spatially view linear assets and relevant work order information at the exact location along each asset. The tool leverages the GIS capabilities of Esri^[1] with Cityworks^[2] asset management software functionality and allows work orders to be started, accessed and completed from the field.

Woolpert Systems Analyst Ean Hamilton said, with this tool, field crews take a picture at a given point along a linear asset and upload it into the work order. The image conveys the condition of the asset when the work order was filed. It is pinned to the map by utilizing the photo's geospatial coordinates along the linear asset and is compiled with relevant project data.

"When the photo of the work order is selected, it lists specific details of that asset, including a timeline and history, as well as what work needs to be done," Hamilton said. "The tool also functions using saved searches and helps identify regional project trends. If I'm doing a pavement assessment and I...

Bentley Systems: Geospatial, Civil Engineering and the Digital Twin

Francois Valois, vice president, Civil Engineering with Bentley Systems spoke at Bentley’s recent Civil Design Virtual Press Briefing about the current state of civil engineering and how we now need to do things differently. Civil infrastructure will continue to need to accelerate, according to Valois. “There has been an enormous infrastructure deficit over the years. Any time we stop accelerating we make the problem worse. Now we have social distancing, and funding challenges. Projects may be funded by a special tax on gas, for example. In addition to this, we have to stay home and when we’re onsite we must have less people onsite and find new ways to work. Our answer is the digital twin, and helping our users to go digital.”

As an example of growth, Florida will invest US$2.1 billion on civil. How resilient is building construction? Most states are business as usual. Florida can take advantage of low flow on highways to do construction.

The digital twin encompasses the reality of the design information, geospatial information, the analysis information, unstructured information, dark information and CAD files, all being available to the world.

“This combined with new...

Digital Construction Week to run alongside GEO Business next year

Following GEO Business organiser Diversified Communications UK has confirmed that this year’s show has sadly been postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The UK’s largest geospatial event designed for everyone involved in the gathering, storing, processing and delivery of geospatial information will now take place on 19-20 May 2021 at ExCeL London.

Today’s other announcements include the new dates for Digital Construction Week (DCW), the UK’s only event dedicated to digital construction, engineering, design, manufacturing and operation, with the show now set to run alongside GEO Business.

The magnitude and unprecedented scale of the Covid-19 outbreak and the subsequent government restrictions have affected the lives and livelihoods of people and businesses around the world. While the UK’s strict lockdown measures are expected to ease over the coming months, social distancing and restrictions on mass gatherings look to remain for the rest of the year. Notably, many of GEO Business exhibitors and visitors are among the 7.5 million people currently furloughed, which makes it even harder for firms to plan many months ahead.

Caroline Hobden, Diversified UK’s event and portfolio director, says: “Like all businesses, we have been closely following the rapidly changing developments...
