Geofumadas - on trends in this digital moment

How Going Digital Can Reverse Your Engineering Challenges Connected data environments not only talk about it, they also walk the road on your construction projects. Almost all engineering, architecture and construction (AEC) professionals focus on finding new ways to increase margins and reduce liability ...

Geo-Engineering & TwinGeo Magazine - Second Edition

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

Re-defining the Geo-Engineering Concept

We live a special moment in the confluence of disciplines that have been segmented for years. Surveying, architectural design, line drawing, structural design, planning, construction, marketing. To give an example of what traditionally were flows; linear for simple, iterative and difficult to control projects 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, almost at the end of his article, Muthukumar Kumar, referring specifically to the creation of 3D environments, their usefulness, importance and future. Note that to speak of 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 asking what the GIS employers are really looking for, I wondered to what extent these conclusions can be extrapolated to our countries of origin whose realities may be similar or different (perhaps very different) from yours. The 'raw material' used for the study were all offers ...

Precision-dependent cadastre of the purpose - tendency, synergy, technique or nonsense?

There by 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 the cadastre for primitive purposes adopts for tax purposes, and how that need to integrate data, actors and technologies is a contextual integration. For 2014 ...

... and gathered the geobloggers here ...

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

How will the land administration be the future? - 2034 Cadastre vision

Proposing how the land administration in 2034 could be 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 already done 20 years before Cadastre 2014. Paying little attention to these statements may have cost you ...

The SINAP National System of Property Administration

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

Recommendations when implementing LADM

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

LADM - As Unique Model of Land Management Dominion - Colombia

Summary of the presentation made by Golgi Alvarez and Kaspar Eggenberger at the Andean Geomatics Congress in Bogotá, in June of 2016. Requirement for the Multipurpose Cadastre With the implementation of the National Development Plan 2014 - 2018 and the creation of the National Agency of Land ANT, the panorama for the Land area in ...

Blockchain and Bitcoin applied to the Land Administration

In a congress of information technologies I was approached by the editor of a magazine, who consulted me about the application of this type of technologies in the area of Land Registry, Cadastre and Property Administration in general. The conversation was more than interesting, although I was a bit surprised to be asked, considering ...

BIM - The world that would have dreamed 20 years ago

20 years later, I can only associate the BIM as the evolution that represented for that time leaving the drawing table and the tracing paper for the CAD files. That was an impressive evolution, considering that it came from being a cartoonist and notebook calculator + calculator + Lotus 123. I thought it was awesome to believe ...

BIM - the irreversible trend of CAD

In our context of Geo-Engineering, 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 in their different stages of life cycle . It means, that a road, a bridge, a valve, a channel, a building, ...

6 aspects to consider in the Integration Registry - Cadastre

Making the Cadastre and the Real Estate Registry work together is currently one of the most interesting challenges in the modernization processes of property rights systems. The problem is usually the same, even going beyond our Hispanic context. On the one hand, the idealism of ...

Registry and Cadastre in the context of a National Transactional System

Every day, countries focus on e-government trends, where processes are simplified in order to provide a better service to citizens, as well as a reduction in margins for corruption or unnecessary bureaucracy. We are aware that the legislation, institutionality and processes regarding property in each country are ...

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

Doing a job with LiDAR could be more accurate than with conventional topography? If it reduces times, in what percentage? How much does it reduce costs? Definitely times have changed. I remember when Felipe, a surveyor who did the fieldwork, came with a 25 notebook pages of cross sections to generate with ...

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 everyday life where we use georeference as an action ...
