Abstract

Sharing GIS to AEC users online and on the road
Track: Plan
Authors: Renato Salvaleon

The intersection between GIS and survey is a known point and has long been established as very important in the AEC community. The divide between surveyors and GIS has been at most a beaten dead horse. The gap is narrower more than ever and technology has played a very good part in make this almost nil. But still surveyors and GIS professionals are not fully engaged. It is time to get everyone involved seriously.

While bridges exist, doors still remain shut or sometimes barely open. Both sides need to reach out and the concept of sharing in the context of GIS web and mobile solutions may be that foot in the door to make the opening wider.

This highlights the use of an geospatial and ESRI web and mobile technology in sharing geospatial information among a diverse group of AEC and geospatial personnel in a Land department of a major utility in the southeast. Implementations of web maps, mobile GIS and geoportals are utilized to share rich GIS and survey information to our end users.
