WHEN: 2012-05-16 to 2012-05-16
WHERE: Level 4, 162 Goulburn Street, Surry Hills
STATE: NSW
COUNTRY: AUS
Speakers discussing the strategic and operation issues associated wih using data and IT infrastructure by different professionals in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications. Looking at the benefits in integration of work from surveyors supplying the base survey work, engineers developing diagrams in CAD and environmental consultants using GIS for planning.
EVENT DETAILS:
– Strategic insights into GIS and CAD Integration
Overview of potential of GIS and spatial data. How to integrate the data and GIS and imagery data and technology to the benefit of an engineering project. Learn about the management issues and solutions. Strategic alignment of CADD and GIS processes and understanding within an engineering organisation. ‘Why is it important for our Structural staff to understand Coordinate systems?’

SPEAKER: Peter Shoemark, CARDNO
Peter has in excess of 30 years in the Engineering and IT fields with a particular focus on GIS and CAD. He has worked for several major international companies and gained broad high level experience over that time that contribute to his work ethics, enthusiasm and efficiency. Peter currently holds simultaneous professional certifications of GISP-AP with the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSi) and MACSCP through the Australian Computer Society (ACS). He now sits on the SSSI Professional Certification Approvals Panel and The NSW Surveying & Mapping Industry Council. Peter also has extensive experience in Oracle Spatial and Aspatial data management and integration. He is a key driver of GIS and CAD solutions in the Cardno group reflected in his roles as Group CADD Coordinator and National GIS Discipline Leader.

– Establishment and Implementation of CAD standards
A lot of GIS data starts life in some CAD format or another.
CAD data generally is not structured in a GIS friendly way, and as a consequence, GIS practioners often end up recapturing data that was already available in engineering-centric formats. CAD data is also often used in emergency situations when it is the only or newest data available. Non-standardisation may lead to confusion and misunderstanding when interpreting the data.
The answer is to establish standards according to which the CAD data can be captured and interpreted by a general audience while is still meets the criteria for engineers, and GIS professionals.
