This GIS data is automatically converted into BIM format, to client standards, and transferred into the BIM model, with no manual intervention at all, using interoperability software (Safe Software FME). Meanwhile, engineers at Arcadis use a specially-developed ArcGIS web app to view and quality assure all the data collected in the field. Another dashboard allows Arcadis to share real-time data with the client and the contractor, with highlighted metrics linked to key performance indicators (KPIs) for the project.
One provides an overview of the survey progress for the Project Manager, allowing them to effectively monitor the contractor’s time on site, track survey progress and drill down into records to see emerging health & safety issues. The data collected with Survey123 is automatically backed up and automatically generates regular reports.Īrcadis uses a range of ArcGIS Dashboards to provide real-time visibility of the project. If engineers observe a safety issue, such as an exposed wire, they can generate a real-time alert from within Survey123, which is sent directly to the Health & Safety Manager. In addition, Survey123 integrates with Microsoft Power Automate, allowing alerts and emails to be sent automatically from the field. Survey123 draws on high-end GPS data from EOS Arrows to ensure sub-metre accuracy for the locations of assets in the field. In the new digital workflow that Arcadis subsequently developed, engineers use ArcGIS Survey123 to capture accurate, geo-located data in the field about electrical assets, their condition and compliance with standards. “Right from the beginning, we established a vision combining our GIS, engineering and BIM expertise to transform the way we undertake these projects and deliver an efficient, high quality service for our client,” says Gideon Simons, Principal GIS and Geospatial Consultant at Arcadis.
Arcadis had been using a suite of desktop, web-based and mobile solutions from Esri’s ArcGIS for many years and instantly recognised the key role that GIS could play in the rail project.
