Abstract

GIS and Civil Engineering: A Perfect Match
Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
Authors: Bond Harper

There is amazing potential for integrating GIS in a civil engineering workflow. Many firms or civic engineering departments have GIS capabilities, but can take advantage of the full strength of geospatial analysis by integrating GIS into their standard workflow. Through experience working with engineers in both the public and private sector, the presenter will discuss ways to tackle barriers to GIS implementation. Gaining management buy-in, training, and capabilities examples will be discussed.
