BIM For Surveyors
Chair: Ms. Mercy Iyortyer, Nigeria

Digital change and BIM are likely to significantly affect the future of the surveying profession. Do we need a more symbiotic relationship between technologists and surveyors? What should, or can, surveyors do to affect technology? What aspects of professionlism in surveying remain relevant in the changing technological landscape? Clearly, the answers lie in where professional surveying judgement can continue to add value, how our work processes can be consistently applied and how data-driven decision-making can be improved.

Scope of the Workshop:

• What is the state of play of digital change and examples of best practice?
• What do technologists need from surveyors and vice versa?
• What does this technology suggest for the future of the surveying profession?

TS01E: Deformation in Frames
Commission: 5
Chair: Mr. Nic Donnelly, New Zealand
Rapporteur: Dr. Dan Gillins, United States

While a smart city might have an extremely accurate reference frame, it is only as good as its most recent update unless an effort is made to understand the deformation occurring within that frame. The surface of the earth is moving and this must be taken into account for a smart city to maintain its infrastructure over time. Sometimes, a simple plate motion model may suffice. However, this will not account for intra-plate motions nor any vertical change. Monitoring deformation in frames is a necessary effort to maintain the long term viability of an accurate reference frame for a smart city.

FIG Academic Forum on the VGGT
Chair: Dr. David Mitchell, Chair FIG Commission 2, Australia

Jointly hosted by FIG and FAO

The 2019 FIG Academic Members Forum is the platform within the 42nd FIG General Assembly where the Academic Members of FIG and other academics gather to discuss about academic responsibilities and prepare actions.

This session focuses on the role of the academic sector in the implementation and dissemination of the VGGTs through a strengthened role of surveyors. A “strengthened role of surveyors” is a connecting entry point to address and discuss the role of academia, especially in mainstreaming the modern data capturing tools (Open Tenure) and fit-for-purpose ICT systems in support of Land Administration (SOLA), developed under the FAO VGGT programme, and targeting both university curricula and continuous professional development courses. Thus surveying students and graduates will be informed about available tools and how to use these tools, they will learn and get experiences.

TS03E: Gravity, Geoids and Vertical Change
Commission: 5
Chair: Mr. David Avalos, Mexico
Rapporteur: Dr. Kevin Ahlgren, United States

A number of countries around the world are assessing or adapting their vertical reference systems in order to guarantee an efficient support to the growing demand of accurate heights in geo-information. Many are implementing a change from a system based on leveling to one determined by geoid height models. Given the implied ties to sea level and the potential impact of the change in sea level, this effort takes on a more significant role for the surveyors and the geodetic and cadastral agencies developing such models or adapting the leveling datum. This session will incorporate both the practical implications for the surveyor and recent scientific developments for vertical datum realization.

As technological change accelerates, one of the challenges for professionals is how to engage with the technologists in a meaningful way. Thus, moulding technology to solving professional problems, and at the same time utilizing technology for improvements and efficiency in professional work, is a symbiotic relationship. BIM is the epitome of this interaction, since utlising it in a different or low cost way may enable new service streams and wider take up.

TS04G: Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration – Experiences in Practice
Chair: Dr. Daniel Steudler, FIG Honorary Member, Switzerland & Mrs. Anne-Pierre Girardin, France

The topic of "Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration" has been on the FIG agenda since the Joint FIG / World Bank publication in March 2014 (FIG Publication No. 60). The aim of raising the topic at that time was that our professional community would become more aware of providing appropriate and fit-for-purpose services to society rather than "focusing on top-end technical solutions" only. It is important for our profession to recognize that surveying and technology is not the end in itself but a means to the end. However, there was skepticism about the publication from within the profession ever since it has been published.

The aim of the special session at the FIG-Working Week 2019 in Hanoi is to continue the discussion on FFP and to learn about the standpoints of promoters and sceptics. The special session will be of 90 min. length, where the first 60 min. will include six presentations followed by a panel discussion of 30 min.

Platinum Member Session - LEICA GEOSYSTEMS: Harnessing Digital Transformation through Reality Capture for Smart Change
Chair: Mr. Stuart Woods, Leica Geosystems

Digitisation is fundamental to the growth of smart cities. Cadastral mapping is the basis smart city planning and smarter expansion and movement is enabled by digitalisation of rail infrastructure. We can better predict climate change induced natural disasters using ground-based digital reality capture that provides a smarter understanding of flood plains. It's time for the construction projects to benefit from access to automated 3D data capture technology, that is more affordable, productive, and designed for use by all on site.

With Leica Geosystems’ reality capture solutions that deliver innovative 3D workflows from terrestrial scanning, UAVs or mobile mapping, surveyors can benefit from new applications to grow their business and increase efficiencies in the field and office. We are enabling digital transformation for surveying professionals around the world, however, wherever, and whenever they work.
