Data Security for Infrastructure Projects: 10 Oct 2023 at 12.30

Date: Tuesday 10 October 2023

Timing: 12.30-13.45

Venue: virtual

As the data guardians of digital engineering, how can surveyors ensure data is collected and managed securely?

This lunchtime webinar for ARPAS-UK and RICS Members only explores the importance of professional security-mindedness, data security and information management on infrastructure projects.


Speaker & Topics covered:
A UK government security adviser from the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) will talk through the range of security threats, the security-minded approach to data management with examples from national infrastructure projects, outlining the thought processes and the procedures that can be followed when needed. 

The presentation will end with a Q&A. 

To whom is this webinar relevant:

This event will be relevant to the surveyor, those commissioning surveys and all those working with survey data in highlighting what you should be mindful of in a data-centric world.

Registration: ARPAS-UK Members will receive an email with details of how to register. RICS members will receive information via RICS. If you are not a member of either organisation, please contact [email protected] to discuss the benefits of membership.

A link will be sent to all registered prior to the webinar.

Please note: this webinar will not be recorded for security purposes.

Earth observation and aerial surveys 6th edition and the geospatial sector

Recent years have seen an enormous increase in the availability and use of all kinds of geospatial imagery. From the advent of accessible earth observation and satellite systems such as Copernicus, the rapid development of LiDAR, to the evolution of UAV systems and the revolution of hybrid sensors. Aerial survey capabilities have been further enhanced by enhanced digital processing, improved navigation and control systems and increasingly accurate GNSS use in ground/airborne control.

This is an exciting and fast moving geospatial surveying sector and is increasingly used in applications such as environmental and land management, topographic mapping, site surveys, construction and infrastructure, coastal management, building condition reports and much more.This new edition is an important part of the professional experts and surveyors technical armoury.

The lead expert Author Allan Jamieson Ordnance Survey GB will introduce the new standard and discuss its implications with a panel of sector experts.

We would encourage delegates to send in questions or comments beforehand to [email protected] but there will be opportunities to ask throughout the webinar.

 

Panellists:

  • Allan Jamieson – OS
  • Rachel Tidmarsh – EAASI
  • James Dunthorne – ARPAS-UK

Drones: Applications and Compliance for Surveyors by RICS

The document “Drones: Applications and Compliance for Surveyors” by RICS highlights the increasing role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones in various surveying practices. It discusses their applications in geospatial surveying, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and construction, among others.

Key opportunities presented by drones include increased efficiency and access to hard-to-reach areas, while challenges involve compliance with varying national regulations, ensuring proper training, and maintaining data security. The report emphasizes the importance of adhering to legal requirements, obtaining necessary certifications, and using drones responsibly. It also explores the evolving drone technology, including sensors like LiDAR and thermal cameras, which offer enhanced capabilities for surveying tasks.
