Enhancing Infrastructure Planning with ArcGIS GeoBIM

Timbalier’s unique focus on agile, technology based methods for project management has become an invaluable resource for our clients. In a land rights setting, we have seen a considerable level of improvement in GIS technology, especially through ESRI’s ever growing GIS framework. There is a new tool in the mix, however, that can provide an entirely new level of planning collaboration - ArcGIS GeoBIM. The following article highlights some of the functionality of ArcGIS GeoBIM from a land rights perspective.

The Power of Cross-Functional Collaboration

In project development, cross-functional collaboration serves as a potent engine. It speeds up development times and aligns all team members with the same objective. But, achieving this level of collaboration can be tough without the right tool. That's where ArcGIS GeoBIM shines.

ArcGIS GeoBIM supports collaboration by providing a platform where all team members can access and interact with project data. It's a game-changer for developing a shared vision across the project. With it, engineers, architects, and planners can work together in real-time, seeing changes as they happen and reducing misunderstandings.

Here are some key features of ArcGIS GeoBIM that facilitate cross-functional collaboration:

• Real-time sharing of geospatial and BIM data, fostering faster decision-making
• Collaborative environment that allows all team members to interact with the same data
• Web-based experience, making it accessible anytime, anywhere

Integrating ArcGIS GeoBIM with ArcGIS Online for Land Rights Acquisition Project

When dealing with land rights acquisition projects, combining ArcGIS GeoBIM with ArcGIS Online can be a strategic move. This integration allows for a more comprehensive view of the project, enabling teams to identify potential risks early in the planning process.

With ArcGIS Online, teams can access a vast array of geospatial data, from land ownership to environmental restrictions. When this data is paired with the BIM capabilities of ArcGIS GeoBIM, teams can see the project in a new light. They can pinpoint where potential challenges may arise and plan accordingly, reducing the risk of unexpected issues down the line.

In summary, integrating ArcGIS GeoBIM with ArcGIS Online provides:

• Improved oversight of potential risks
• Comprehensive view of the project, combining geospatial and BIM data
• Early identification of potential challenges, allowing for proactive planning.

Utilizing Open Source Data for Infrastructure Projects with ArcGIS' Living Atlas

In the arena of large-scale infrastructure projects, data holds significant power. The more comprehensive the information, the more informed decisions can be made. This is where the significance of ArcGIS' Living Atlas comes into play.

Living Atlas is a component of the larger ArcGIS ecosystem, acting as a robust data repository. It offers a plethora of open-source data relevant to infrastructure projects, covering areas like wetlands, flood zones, socioeconomic data, and more.

The fusion of Living Atlas with ArcGIS GeoBIM presents a unique advantage of combining these extensive data sources with the visual and interactive features of GeoBIM. Consequently, infrastructure project teams can view, interact with, and utilize data that is not only relevant but also comprehensive and current.

For instance, teams can superimpose geospatial data from Living Atlas on their BIM models in GeoBIM. This can aid in identifying potential environmental issues, planning for disaster mitigation, or ensuring compliance with local regulations.

Essentially, this integration creates a digital twin of land rights acquisition, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the project. The benefits of this approach include:

• Access to comprehensive and relevant open-source data
• Enhanced visualization and interaction with project data
• Improved risk management and planning capabilities

Wrapping Up

Quantifying the precise value of implementing cutting-edge approaches for large infrastructure projects poses a challenge. Yet, one fact remains undeniable: the substantial advantage gained from integrating solutions like ArcGIS GeoBIM far exceeds the potential risks averted by utilizing these tools. It's imperative to acknowledge that these tools cannot substitute for diligent personnel who are adept at identifying and evaluating risks. However, the capability to unite all decision-makers within a centralized environment can prove pivotal in determining the success or failure of such projects.
