Sessions:

• 1 Integrating GIT, BIM and ICT for a Sustainable Infrastructure: This session will focus on advocating the the need and importance of integrating Geospatial with complementing ICT solutions along with BIM to develop future proof and sustainable infrastructure assets which is a vital pre-requisite for a sustainable infrastructure.
• 2 Geospatially-Enabled Infrastructure Asset Development and Maintenance: This session will be roll over into two parts with a firm focus on bringing to light the importance of Geospatial in various aspects of development and maintenance of infrastructural assets that includes – Buildings, Roadways, Highways, Utilities (including underground utility assets), etc., that forms an integral part of any modern day city.
• 3 Geospatially-Enabled Infrastructure Asset Development and Maintenance (cont’d): Further case studies and papers will be presented in this area continuing from the second session.
• 4 (Panel Discussion) Integrating Geospatial with BIM and ICT for Optimal ROI on Infrastructure Projects: Many developed countries across the globe are taking rapid steps towards adding more teeth to their infrastructure construction initiatives by adopting BIM as a business process for similar projects purely due to reasons that revolve around having a greater control across the entire project life cycle. Interestingly, Geospatial Technologies finds itself in the middle of every level in a typical project life cycle – Planning, Designing, Building, and Maintenance that can successfully interact with BIM at each stage. This integration gains further prominence when complementing ICT solutions are thrown into the mix resulting in empowering the project stakeholders at every stage – right from planner to architect, to builder and moving on to the owner/operator. This kind of control effectively ensures mitigation of construction issues such as mismatches, rework, clashes and ensures efficiency in terms of improved cost, quality & time. This panel discussion will feature experts who will throw light on the importance of this integration and will focus on bringing to light the potential of achieving optimal ROI from this initiation.
