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 WGs of IAG, ISM and ISPRS, look for
possible co-operation within these organisations and support the co-operation
of civil, structural and mechanical engineers with our profession
Co-operation with other FIG Commissions
Participation on the FIG standardisation policy, support the
standardisation activities at the international, local and national level,
development of standards
Participation on regional FIG events, events organised in co-operation
with sister organisations.
General
This Working Plan covers a wide scale of survey disciplines related to
plants, installations and constructions of any kind. Through the Working Plan
Commission 6 wants to extend the Council strategy by encouraging:
development of international standards and qualifications,
closer links and co-operation with other FIG Commissions,
development of best practice guides in Engineering Surveys,
actively support and participate in FIG regional events.

Policy issues
Engineering surveys in industry and research demand ultimate quality to be
realised in ever-shorter time slots and under spatially most limited conditions.
WG2’s main goal is to provide the specialists involved in that kind of missions
with the latest state of the art concerning:
The use of adapted survey techniques in industry & Engineering;
A multidisciplinary collaboration between survey engineers, civil
engineers, structural & mechanical engineers, R&D scientists - for a better
approach of complex Engineering survey problems;
Specific algorithms, instrumentation, equipment and techniques in
Engineering Surveys;
High precision measurements and special techniques for the large scale
metrology of big equipment or structures;
Integration of survey & alignment sensors with actuators and/or tools for
on-line monitoring and control of a given process (dynamic systems);
Relevant modules for the 'Optical 3d Measurement Techniques' series.
