Engineering Surveying Steering Group

12d Model and 12d Synergy user Michael (Mick) Connor of Fulton Hogan has been very busy in recent months! Not only is he an integral part of the team that’s made the Sydney B-Line Bus Project a reality, he’s managed to fit in a great webinar - 12d Synergy and 12d View for Surveyors - as part of our popular Industry Solutions series. This presentation was based on a talk he gave at our Technical Forum in July. A recording and blog of the webinar can be viewed here.

And now he’s found yet another exciting new project...this time it’s the formation of an Engineering Surveying Steering Group - a panel, including client representatives, of surveyors from across the industry (NSW) - inspired by their drive over the past three years to work towards a more robust framework for survey delivery.

They are currently running quarterly sessions, and would like to extend to interested parties an invitation for Friday 14th December. The theme for this session will be around utility management.

To Mick, this is all about ‘starting the conversation’ - getting the industry talking. He says their clients have always been open to solutions and ideas. Creating a collaborative working group will enable this framework to be realised.

They have  representatives from RMS, TfNSW, and 12d Solutions coming along to this session, as well as Gaby Van Wyk (SSSI) who can talk through the revised AS5488 (SUI Guidelines).

12d will showcase some mapping and attributing smarts which can be aligned with SUI 5488 and G71 requirements.

Due to an overwhelming response to this concept, the Survey & Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI) has expressed interest in sponsorship/endorsement. The team is currently awaiting venue availability, so contact Mick today to book in and you’ll receive all details as they become available!
