Geofumadas - on trends in this digital moment

How Going Digital Can Reverse Your Engineering Challenges Connected data environments don't just talk about it, they also come down the road in your construction projects. Almost all engineering, architecture and construction (AEC) professionals are focused on finding new ways to increase margins and reduce liability ...

Geo-Engineering & TwinGeo Magazine - Second Edition

We have been living an interesting moment of digital transformation. In every discipline, the changes are going beyond the simple abandonment of paper to the simplification of processes in search of efficiency and better results. The construction sector is an interesting example, driven by immediate future incentives such as the Internet ...

Re-defining the Geo-Engineering Concept

We live a special moment in the confluence of disciplines that for years have been segmented. Surveying, architectural design, line drawing, structural design, planning, construction, marketing. To give an example of what were traditionally flows; linear for simple projects, iterative and difficult to control depending on the size of the projects. Today, surprisingly ...

Are we really immersed in an "innovative" process when it comes to 3D Spatial?

"The push of a button has the potential to open another dimension," writes, near the end of his article, Muthukumar Kumar, referring specifically to the creation of 3D environments, its usefulness, importance and future. Note that to talk about the future, in a way that takes us away from simple charlatanism, it is required that this word be ...

The employability oriented to the GIS. Fiction versus reality

After reading an article that begins by wondering what GIS employers are really looking for, I was wondering to what extent these conclusions can be extrapolated to our home countries whose realities may be similar or different (maybe very different) from yours. The 'raw material' used for the study were all offers ...

Accurate purpose-dependent cadastre - trend, synergy, technique, or nonsense?

Back in 2009 I elaborated the systematization of the evolution of the Cadastre of a municipality, which in its natural logic suggested a progress between the reasons why it originally adopts the cadastre for tax purposes, and how that need to gradually integrate data, actors and technologies is carried out by contextual integration. For 2014 ...

… And geobloggers gathered here…

Someone had to materialize that idea of sitting in the same space, a group of totally disparate people in personality, thought and cultural context, but added to the variant of being Spanish-speaking, they are intensely passionate about what happens in the geospatial context. It is about the "I National Geobloggers Meeting", promoted in the ...

What will land administration look like in the future? - vision of Cadastre 2034

Proposing what land administration could look like in 2034 does not seem like an easy idea, if we see how many changes have happened in the last 20 years. However, the exercise is a second attempt at what was done 20 years before Cadastre 2014. Having paid little attention to these statements may have cost you ...

The SINAP National System of Property Administration

The National Property Administration System (SINAP) is a technological platform that integrates all the information related to the physical and normative resource of the nation, where the different public and private actors and individuals record all transactions associated with property assets. property, necessary for the constitution and dynamization of a market ...

Recommendations when implementing LADM

In several of the projects that I have participated, I have witnessed that the confusion caused by LADM is not necessarily associated with understanding it as an ISO standard, but with isolating its conceptual scope from its technological mechanization scenario. In other words, how to implement it. It must be clear that the LADM does not ...

LADM - As Unique Model of the Land Administration Domain - Colombia

Summary of the presentation made by Golgi Alvarez and Kaspar Eggenberger at the Andean Geomatic Congress in Bogotá, in June 2016. Requirement for the Multipurpose Cadastre With the entry into force of the National Development Plan 2014 - 2018 and the creation of the National Land Agency ANT, the outlook for the Land field in ...

Blockchain and Bitcoin applied to the Land Administration

At an information technology congress I was approached by the editor of a magazine, who asked me about the application of this type of technology in the area of Property Registration, Cadastre and Property Administration in general. The conversation was more than interesting, although I was somewhat surprised that he asked me, considering ...

BIM - The world I would have dreamed of 20 years ago

20 years later, I can only associate BIM as the evolution that it represented at that time to leave the drawing board and tracing paper for CAD files. That was an impressive evolution, considering that he came from being a draftsman of chinographer and calculator of notebook + calculator + Lotus 123. It seemed impressive to believe ...

BIM - the irreversible trend of CAD

In our Geo-Engineering context, the term BIM (Building Information Modeling) is no longer novel, which allows different real-life objects to be modeled, not only in their graphic representation but also in their different life cycle stages. . It means that a road, a bridge, a valve, a canal, a building, ...

We are aware that the legislation, institutions and processes regarding property in each country are ...

Traditional topography vrs. LiDAR. Accuracy, time and costs.

Could doing a job with LiDAR be more accurate than with conventional surveying? If you reduce times, by what percentage? How much does it reduce costs? Times have definitely changed. I remember when Felipe, a surveyor who did the field work for me, came with a 25-page notebook of cross sections to generate with ...

The intrinsic georeference

When we read the different theories that support the communication that cartography entails, both as a science to represent geographical phenomena, and as an art to give this information the necessary aesthetics, we realize that the moment in which we live includes multiple actions in daily life where we use georeference as an action ...
