Benefits & Road-blocks for implementing Geospatial Technology in infrastructure projects

1. Benefits & Road-blocks for implementing Geospatial  Technology in infrastructure projects • Dr. Vivek S. Kale • M.Sc. Ph.D., FGSI, FIGU. Kalyani Global Engineering Pvt. Ltd. Industry House, Mundhwa, PUNE 411 036.

2. Infrastructure Projects: Highways Road Construction: est. Rs. 12.5 Million/ km Est. cost of unplanned re-alignment: Rs. 17.5 M/km Est. cost of unplanned Bridge: Rs. 30.0 M each Est. cost overruns due to delays: 25% pa

3. What happens ? Replacement cost: 10% Incorrect Supply Site reworking: 15% Raw Material Incorrect terrain assessment Site access Idle time Contractor’s Team Manpower costs: > 25% CONSTRUCTION PLAN

4. COST ADDITIVES SUPPLY DELAYS : 10 – 20% PLAN VARIATIONS : 5 – 50% ON-SITE DEVIATIONS : 10 – 200% MASTER PLAN

5. Infrastructure Projects: Highways Source NHAI 2008 POTENTIAL ADD-ON COSTS PER ANNUM = 42.55 X 365 Million Indian Rupees USE OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY HAS THE CAPACITY OF SAVING NOTHING LESS THAN 10% OF THE INR 15.3 Billion by conservative estimates!!!!

6. Infrastructure Projects: Highways GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY Has the capacity to: Reduction in re-alignment requirements : > 50% Plan data has taken into account every requirement, hence no unforeseen Bridge or Underpass. Supply Chain Management ensures on-time delivery of material leading to elimination of “idle times” Restricting Cost overruns to less than 5% of Planned cost

7. GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY • By converging data from multiple sources and adding a spatial dimension, GIS delivers • improved space utilization • tracking of assets, • increased accuracy of resources budgeting; • greater precision of reporting processes, & • optimized coordination among departments • What more, GIS integrates seamlessly with other enterprise systems such as SCADA, SAP, ERP, ….

8. GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY Socio-economics Utilities Population Urban structures Topography Environment Soil Landuse - Landcover Natural Resources Hydrology Geology IS CAPABLE OF ADDRESSING COMPLEX DATA REQUIREMENTS BY INTEGRATING DATA FROM AS DIVERSE COMPONENTS AS

9. Geospatial : Infrastructure ROADS NETWORKS TOWNSHIPS • As-is Data • Approach and Layout design • Engineering surveys • Estimations and construction monitoring • As Built Data • As-is Data • Engineering surveys • Need assessment • Design & Erection • Networks • As Built Data • As-is Data • Plan Layouts [including networks] • Geotechnical characterisation • Engineering surveys • As Built Data

10. Geospatial : Infrastructure POWER PLANT WIND ENERGY • Site Selection • Site Access • Connecting Networks • Access • Connecting Networks • Engineering & Geotechnical characterisation • Design & Erection • As Built Data MINING • Prospect Assessment • Mine Layouts • Access & Infrastructure • Excavation Planning • Excavation Monitoring AND OTHERS.. SCM .... ASSET MANAGEMENT

11. A system that has efficacy across the Project Life Cycle From site planning to as-builts, GIS is a comprehensive platform that allows you to manage and integrate disparate data types. GIS

12. A system that has efficacy across the Project Life Cycle With direct data access, transformation, and export capabilities, one can easily use & distribute your data in many formats thus serving MULTIPLE USERS & USER NEEDS. NEED FOR CHANGE REVISED PLAN GIS

13. CONSTRUCTION PHASE Plan : Construction comparison Resource Planning ON-LINE UPDATES Supply Chain Management Deviation Tracking DESIGN DATA BASE Ensures accurate compliance to Plan Enables rapid problem resolution Continuous updates yield near-real time assessment

14. Geospatial Technology • enhances business process efficiency by • Improving data accuracy, accessibility & integrity • Supporting informed decision making • Providing for resource and asset management • Shortening disaster response time • Enhancing customer service • Increasing technology return on investment • REMOVING THE GUESSWORK & • PROVIDE ACCURACY. • = MISSION CRITICAL • DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM

15. ROAD-BLOCKS • User ignorance………. • User resistance……. • User indifference • (intuitive / threat perception) • Cost fear……..??

16. Spatial Information Systems have 2 primary component: software and data/ contents. The software platforms have reached a very high level stability and robustness over the last 20 years. We are sadly way behind on the ‘contents’ front. ADDRESSING THE ‘CONTENTS’ Is an urgent requirement.

17. WAY AHEAD ……. • INFORM • DEMONSTRATE • CO-OPERATE • SYNERGISE • STANDARDISE • INTEGRATE
