Webinar | Reality Modeling for Geotechnical Site Investigation

Available OnDemand 

Join industry expert, Tim Swavley, as he demonstrates how Macquarie Geotechnical is using reality models and other photogrammetry derivatives to enhance the results of geotechnical site investigation activities (primarily test pits and cored boreholes).

Photogrammetry can be used to capture the conditions encountered in test pits and rock cores in great detail, and at the time of first exposure.  Using information captured in this way to supplement logs and logged data can greatly enhance the understanding able to be passed on to those reviewing and interpreting site wide conditions.  In some cases, this can close uncertainty gaps, and overcome practical data recording limitations and interpretative subjectivity of traditional site investigation techniques.

​In this webinar, we will showcase: 

• Introduction to virtuosity and practitioner licenses
• Introduction to Macquarie Geotechnical and reality modelling for geotechnical applications
• Site investigation use case; challenges in recording accurate site condition using traditional geotechnical techniques
• How reality modelling can enhance this workflow and the business benefits being realised by Macquarie Geotechnical
• Q & A

With over a decade of experience working with spatial technologies in both Europe and Australia, Glen provides subject matter expertise for Bentley’s reality and spatial modeling portfolio. Glen is based out of Bentley’s Brisbane, Australia office and works with AEC firms, drone start-ups, government & infrastructure owners across the Asia-Pacific region.

Tim is a geotechnical engineer with over 10 years’ experience planning and performing geotechnical site investigations throughout Australia. Tim has been based in non-capital city locations for many years and is particularly well accustomed to overcoming the challenges of communicating site conditions to designers who are unable to “stop past” site in order to appreciate conditions. Tim is also a photogrammetry enthusiast, first dabbling with the trade before the industry became hyper-enabled by off-the-shelf drone hardware and automatically georeferenced imagery – giving Tim a keen eye for terrestrial photogrammetry opportunities.
