Geomatics: The key to smarter, safer and more efficient digital transformation in engineering projects
01 May. 2025
Webinar
Geomatics is revolutionizing engineering by seamlessly integrating real-world data with digital advancements. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like mobile mapping, UAVs, LiDAR, 3D scanning and traditional surveying, geomatics professionals generate precise digital models. These models then underpin critical projects in transportation, energy, infrastructure, power distribution, rail and beyond.
This webinar, geared towards science and engineering technology professionals, will showcase how geomatics combines advanced technology, software and AI-driven workflows to transform vast datasets into valuable, actionable insights – streamlining project management and centralizing data for maximum efficiency. We’ll also highlight the importance of a well-structured control network in ensuring data accuracy, consistency and long-term project success.
Discover how geomatics enhances engineering precision, promotes safety and optimizes project workflows. Join us to explore its role in digital transformation and the future of smart, data-driven engineering.
