AVALON 2019 – THE ESSENTIAL AVIATION, AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE SHOWCASE FOR AUSTRALIA AND THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION

The Asia Pacific region is undergoing major growth in defence and aviation, with budgets in many countries continuing to rise and an ever increasing level of sophistication in technologies, equipment, systems and operational methods.

One of the leading gateways to these important markets is AVALON 2019 – the Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defence Exposition staged at Avalon Airport, Geelong, Victoria.

AVALON 2019 will again present a unique opportunity to showcase products, technologies and services to an informed target audience and to demonstrate a marketing presence in this vibrant and vital region. High levels of economic growth and technological development have resulted in growing demand for aviation and aerospace services, products and technology, right across the spectrum from General Aviation to airlines, air forces and space.

AVALON 2019 will be a valuable opportunity for decision-makers to be informed and for exhibitors to connect with their customers.

The Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defence Exposition is the essential aviation, aerospace and defence event for the Asia Pacific.

Webinar: Survey and Site Design Solution @ Online webinar
Mar 3 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Webinar: Survey and Site Design Solution @ Online webinar

Join Bentley Systems at the launch of what it says is the industry’s most complete Survey and Site Design Solution ever offered to the ANZ market.

As technology advances and industry expectations increase, your software needs to keep pace with this ever-changing environment. In short, your software needs to deliver on today’s requirements and be ready for tomorrow’s challengers.

If you work in road design, site surveying, site development and related fields, this webinar is for you.

Throughout the launch, Bentley Systems will demonstrate traditional survey data capture capabilities, coupled with the latest mass data collection survey methods, including Total Station techniques, Point Cloud techniques and Digital Photogrammetry techniques.

Leveraging the above survey results, the launch will continue through a typical site design workflow, incorporating aspects such as:

  • Terrain creation and analysis
  • Urban road widening design
  • Carpark and recreational area design
  • Drainage and Utility design and analysis
  • Plan production and digital model delivery
  • Model visualisation

Air Inspect Australia will also be joining the webinar to share their insights and learnings of their project.

If you or your company perform any of the above-mentioned workflows, then this is one webinar you should not miss.
