From aerial insights to AI analytics to indoor scanning, the future of infrastructure is being built on data. This session brings together innovators who are reimagining construction and asset management through the power of geospatial intelligence. Hear how DAUCH is using AI, drones, and lidar to digitize and certify infrastructure conditions; explore how leading firms are applying GeoAI to boost site safety and efficiency; and learn how SLAM-based indoor mapping is revolutionizing facility documentation across industries. Together, these talks reveal how connected, intelligent workflows are reshaping the way we design, monitor, and maintain the built environment.
The following presentations will be shared in this session:
Data-Driven Infrastructure: How DAUCH is Transforming Construction with AI, Drones, and Geospatial Intelligence
Presented by Silvano Gómez, DAUCH
As infrastructure stakeholders face increasing demands around cost, compliance, and resilience, new digital workflows are redefining how projects are assessed and delivered. This session explores how DAUCH is integrating AI, UAV-based reality capture, lidar, photogrammetry, GPR, and advanced analytics to create accurate, data-rich models of infrastructure conditions. These tools enable faster validation, more reliable decision-making, and greater transparency for both public and private sector projects.
This presentation will demonstrate how geospatial intelligence and real-time monitoring are being applied across construction and public works to reduce risk, improve predictability, and support sustainable development. Attendees will gain insight into how certified, traceable technical data is transforming infrastructure financing, regulatory compliance, and project execution—and where these innovations are taking the industry heading into 2026.
Eyes in the Sky, Intelligence on the Ground: Boosting Site Safety & Efficiency with Drones + GeoAI
Presented by Asaf Even Paz, Esri, and Kyle Duncan, Brasfield & Gorrie
This session explores how current drone imagery and GeoAI are transforming job sites into smarter, safer, and more connected environments. Discover how leading firms like Brassfield and Gorie are using drones to identify hazards before they become accidents, reduce utility strikes, and ensure real-time safety compliance. See how automated aerial data collection is being seamlessly integrated into CAD and GIS environments—supercharging workflows in Autodesk Civil 3D and beyond. We’ll showcase how GeoAI is merging spatial intelligence with design data to unlock faster decisions, greater transparency, and safer outcomes. Through compelling case studies, technical insights, and best practices, you’ll walk away with a playbook for putting aerial data and AI-driven insights to work. Don’t miss this interactive session packed with real-world examples, proven strategies, and a live Q&A.
Faster, Smarter, Better: Optimizing Indoor Mapping Workflows for Maximum Impact
Presented by Russell Hall, Langan Engineering
Indoor mapping is no longer a niche service—it is a critical need across industries, including education, healthcare, and data centers. As demand grows, so does the need for faster, smarter, and more scalable workflows that deliver accurate results without compromising security or efficiency. This presentation will focus on how SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology is revolutionizing indoor mapping workflows to meet these challenges head-on. Using real-world case studies, we will explore how Langan leverages the Leica BLK2GO handheld scanner with Cyclone 3DR’s floor plan extractor to optimize workflows, reduce costs, and deliver results in record time. In industries like K-12 education, where mapping must be completed during narrow access windows, the BLK2GO enables rapid data collection without the need for control points. Similarly, in data centers, hospitals, and other facilities, the ability to extract actionable deliverables such as 2D floor plans and 3D meshes within days of scanning provides a competitive edge. Whether you are a geospatial professional looking to expand your indoor mapping capabilities or a facility manager seeking innovative solutions, this session will provide actionable insights into how SLAM technology can help you work faster, smarter, and better.
