Working Group 6.4 - Engineering Surveys for Construction Works and
Structural Engineering
Policy Issues
- Promoting the use of adapted survey techniques in industry &
Engineering;
- Promoting a multidisciplinary collaboration between survey engineers,
civil engineers, structural & mechanical engineers;
- Promoting the understanding of fibre optic sensors, e.g. interferometric
sensors, Brillouin and Raman scattering and Bragg gratings;
- Study the use of embedded sensor arrays and the role of advanced surveying
techniques for structural monitoring;
- Creating an awareness of surveyors through a task force 'Fibre optic
sensors' of the rapidly emerging technology of fibre optic sensors as
"non-geodetic" sensors to measure deformations (strain) and
temperatures in civil engineering structures
Chair
Specific Projects
- Precise methods and equipment for staking out during construction and
structural works;
- QC and documentation for as build compared to as designed;
- Precise methods and equipment for Engineering surveys for visualisation
and photo match;
- Precise methods and equipment for remote surveys. (Terrestrial laser
scanners etc.)
- Dynamic Monitoring of Buildings and Structures;
- Offshore construction surveys.
Workshops
- Regular symposia and exchanges between researchers and concerned
professionals
- Tutorials as part of the “International Course for Engineering Surveying",
Graz (Austria), 2007
- Workshop on Automatic and multi-sensor measuring Systems, 2009
- Contributions to various joint meetings and FIG WWs and Congress
Publications
- Proceedings of the meetings (by the host).
- Web page
Beneficiaries
- Surveying profession becoming involved in this developing technology which
will partly replace current geodetic techniques;
- Surveyors wanting to acquire information about fibre optic sensors as used
in "smart civil Engineering structures";
- Engineers who has to decide about the best techniques to monitor civil
Engineering structures;
- Universities teaching advanced sensor technology.
- Engineering Surveyors and Engineers involved with construction and setting
out will benefit, as well as structural engineers, current buildings and
future building designs.
