FIG Commission 6

FIG Commission 6 - Engineering Surveys

The mission of commission 6 is to: Commission Chair
  • 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 (geodetic, geotechnic, fast motion) 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 cooperation within these organisations and support the co-operation of civil, structural and
    mechanical engineers with our profession
  • Participation with ICOLD (International Committee on Large Dams) national committees
  • Participation on the FIG Standards Network on standardisation policy, support the standardisation activities at the international, local and national level, and development of standards and method statements
  • Participation on regional FIG events, and events organised in co-operation with sister organisations

TECHNICAL SEMINAR ON REFERENCE FRAME IN PRACTICE

29-30 July 2017, Kobe - Japan

This seminar will be of benefit to operational geodesists or surveyors who are dealing with reference frame issues and crustal deformation, either in a government or commercial environment. It is also open to academics or postgraduate students in a surveying or related discipline.

Invitation: International Conference on Engineering Surveying (INGEO2017), 18-20 October in Lisbon , Portugal

Dear Delegate of Commission 6 - Engineering Surveys

This year the International Conference on Engineering Surveying (INGEO2017) will be held once again. It will be the 7th. The longevity of this event shows the importance of the theme - monitoring and safety evaluation of civil engineering structures - in our professional group.

INGEO has been, since its beginning, organized by the Department of Surveying of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Slovak University of Technology with close cooperation and support from FIG Commission 6. In 2017 INGEO will be organized together with the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC) from Portugal. For this reason, INGEO2017 brings together two communities: surveyors and civil engineers.
The theme of the event “Monitoring: Needs and Solutions” expresses the need of the joining, in one event, the two communities. In INGEO2017, we, the producers (surveyors, geographical engineers and other specialist in geospatial measuring techniques applied to monitoring) can meet the users of our information: the civil engineers. In fact, civil engineers responsible by the security of structures like buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, power plants and power distribution infrastructures, breakwaters, roads, slopes, etc., want to know more about the state of the art but also new geospatial measuring techniques. Finally, displacements, vibrations, images etc. are data that the responsible by structures must have to follow the behaviour of structures and to evaluate their safety. Last but not least this are Data obtained with technology that we dominate and also that we improve to meet the requirements of our clients for accuracy and reliability.

Being sure that INGEO2017 will be an important event to our community, let us meet next October, from 18th to 20th, in Lisbon, at the Congress Centre of LNEC. For more information about the conference, please visit http://ingeo2017.lnec.pt/

Yours sincerely,
Prof. Alojz Kopácik, President of the Scientific Committee
Eng. Maria Henriques, President of the Local Organizing Committee
