Who knew that the geospatial\nindustry has been focused on safe distance data collection for decades? Can\nthis technology help your staff work safely in the comfort of your company\u2019s\ncontrolled environment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data acquisition platforms are quickly evolving to help\nincrease rapid access to LiDAR and imagery data. These range from large rotary\nand fixed-wing aerial platforms to simple handheld scanners on cell phones.\nThese diversified collection methods provide numerous alternatives for architects\nand engineers to work on airport projects from the comfort of their own homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A single project, such as an airport expansion project, uses\nstatic, aerial, and mobile LiDAR sensors to generate a spatially accurate dense\n3D point cloud. These are key tools for detection and mapping of obstructions;\npavement condition analysis for runway and taxiway resurfacing; concrete\nrehabilitation projects; and collecting architectural and structural elements\nof terminals to aid in the development of a detailed Building Information Model\n(BIM). GPI uses these complex sensors to connect the airside and landside\nspatial data while maintaining compliance with FAA Advisory Circulars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6433-edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15552\" width=\"347\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6433-edit.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6433-edit-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The aviation industry continues to adopt the use of digital\n3D models and integrate the technology with existing Geographic Information\nSystems (GIS) and asset management programs. These models can be used through\nthe lifecycle of a facility, beginning with concept plans, navigation through\nconstruction, and finally incorporated into airport operations. Spatially\naccurate 3D models decrease the need for site visits by designers,\nsignificantly reducing their exposure to viruses and decreases interruptions\nfrom less operational staff who are accessing secure areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business continuity plans are integrating new communication\nprotocols to include virtual meetings and video conferencing. These plans are\nincluding ways to leverage technology to integrate data and design across\nmultiple teams. Large-scale projects are successfully delivered using cloud\ncollaboration, leveraging BIM technology on complex design assignments,\nenabling dozens of design experts to virtually work together on a facility as\nif they were physically present. BIM technology paired with virtual reality and\naugmented reality creates an incredibly realistic digital representation of\nairport facilities, for both current and future planned designs. This enables\nthe simulation of physical appearance, performance, and projected costs to aid\nin design decisions and approval processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A strategic 3D modeling or BIM execution plan should be\nconsidered in the development of a business continuity plan. This plan should\nestablish clear project goals, procedures, communication structure, data\nsharing collaboration standards, and assign team member responsibilities. Trust\nyour geospatial provider to collect the data required to work remotely from the\njob site. This is an excellent opportunity to modernize the way you do\nbusiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safe distancing is rapidly becoming the new normal for people, which not only affects their personal lives, but also their daily professional routines.
