Gethin W. Roberts

Commission 6 had its annual meeting during the FIG Congress 2010 in Sydney, Australia, 11-16 April 2010. The General Assembly appointed Dr. Gethin W. Roberts from United Kingdom as the Chair of Commission 6 for 2011-2014.


Commission 6

FIG Commission 6 deals with activities concerning

  • Acquisition, processing and management of topometric data and of all related information throughout the life cycle of a project;
  • Development and implementation of adequate survey methods in Engineering projects;
  • Metrology, quality control and validation for civil construction and manufacturing of large objects;
  • Deformation monitoring, analysis and interpretation;
  • Prediction of deformation and movements in Engineering projects, mines and areas of geological hazard.

The goals of Commission 6 are to 

  • Promote the knowledge, skills and abilities of surveyors in civil and industrial works within the various professional fields of Engineering;
  • Support all development and multidisciplinary expertise leading to integrated survey methods, using various instruments and sensors and combining geometry with all other data relevant to each Engineering problem;
  • Provide a forum for exchange of knowledge related to Engineering analysis of survey data for the study of structures;
  • In addition to the links with related Working Groups of IAG, ISM and ISPRS, look for possible connections within organisations of civil, structural and mechanical engineers and within those dealing with metrology and quality control - at the national and international level.

Commission 6 has established three Working Groups for 2011-2014.
