Bauer Maschinen Group at Bauma in Shanghai: The latest specialist Foundation Engineering Technology for the Asian Market
Although Bauma China only reported around 80,000 visitors this November, a drop of more than 60% compared with the event two years ago, the organizers were still satisfied. Ultimately, the exhibition also sent an important signal for the construction equipment industry as the largest event of its kind since the outbreak of the pandemic. “There were fewer guests at this Bauma than in previous years, particularly due to the lack of international visitors, which was of course due to the current situation. Nevertheless, this meant that we were able to take more time for individual customers and potential clients, and engage in highly valuable conversations,” remarks Marc Scheib, Executive Director of Bauer Equipment Shanghai.

Fugro to provide first topographic Lidar Base Map for Island Nation of Palau
Fugro has been awarded a contract by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to perform high-resolution topographic lidar base mapping for the Republic of Palau.
Located in the western Pacific Ocean and comprising 340 islands, Palau is recognised by the UN as a small developing island state (SIDS) whose remote location, low-lying landmasses and heavily populated coastlines make it especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The new countrywide topography will establish an accurate baseline for climate resilience assessments, allowing Palau to create adaptation strategies that support economic and environmental sustainability.
Fugro will acquire Geo-data for the project early this year using concurrent airborne topographic and bathymetric lidar systems. This ‘topobathy’ approach will ensure accurate and seamless data collection over the entire 415 km2 project area, including nearshore and coastal areas. Fugro applied a similar technique on a UNDP mapping project for another SIDS, the Polynesian island country of Tuvalu, in 2019. That experience will inform this new project in Palau. As the principal user of the data, the Palau Automated Land and Resource Information Systems (PALARIS) will use the new mapping to inform all facets of infrastructure development, natural resource management and environmental monitoring.
“We are pleased to continue our work with the UNDP and look forward to delivering Palau its first topographic lidar base map,” said Edward Saade, President of Fugro in the US. “The use of this Geo-data is fundamental to informed decision-making and will help Palau meet its goals for a resilient, sustainable and equitable future.”
