AEC?AEG! Geospatial data and services have
been core capabilities since day one
Fast forward 6 years
Significant change in industry messaging
“We don’t make a lot of the products you buy. We make a lot of the products you buy better.” - BASF
“Regardless of industry, we can make your operations/approach/decisions better via geospatial intelligence.” –Me
Infrastructure: “The basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.”
As a firm with a long history in AEG… how is the G enabling Infrastructure?
1. Digital Twin / Duplicate:
The Long View
2. UAS / Construction Monitoring:Everywhere
3. Field/Office Workflows:
Overhaul
Digital Twin / Duplicate: The Long View
UAS/Construction Monitoring: Everywhere
Field Workflows: Overhaul
Office Workflows: Overhaul
Thoughts from an Engineer: Andrew Rider • Increased data access/integration
is informing AE operations.• Consequently, the G perspective is
being included more and more.
• Still looking for that “Killer App” or truly “Transformative” project/client
• Technology is not the problem.. It’s standards, behavior, and a different way of thinking.
Fast Forward: 2025
