The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has awarded Fugro a 4-year contract to perform pavement condition and right-of-way imagery for approximately 13,000 lane miles of state roads annually.
Fugro has joined the University of Houston (UH) and its four partnering universities, UH-Downtown, UH-Victoria, UH-Clear Lake and Sam Houston State University, on a collaborative project to advance Geo-data science skills in the energy sector. The project, “Data Science for the Energy Transition,” is being funded through a 3-year grant with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and will offer undergraduate and master’s students specialised training in statistical and machine learning techniques for subsurface Geo-data. Fugro’s role as an industry partner on the project is to provide UH with real-world Geo-data and guidance on their use for hands-on training opportunities.
WEL Networks in New Zealand is using Fugro Roames technology to improve identification of network risk and to support regulatory compliance for their distribution network.
Fugro confirms the Australian Space Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Control Complex (SpAARC) will be located in the heart of downtown Perth’s central business district (CBD). Housed in Western Australia’s (WA’s) largest telecommunications exchange, and thanks to an ongoing partnership with Telstra, Fugro’s world-class facility will manage robotics and remote operations in Australia, around the world and in space. SpAARC will support the translation of terrestrial capabilities into space, while also providing innovative remote solutions here on earth.
Fugro has received a Ventus Award for Advancement in Project Siting and Development from the Business Network for Offshore Wind.
Fugro has completed a geotechnical site characterisation project for DRA Global as part of the proposed expansion of the port of Richards Bay in South Africa.
Fugro has completed a geotechnical site characterisation, earthquake hazard and geotechnical vulnerability assessment for the Port of San Francisco’s multi-year, multi-billion dollar Waterfront Resilience Program. The work was conducted over a period of 3 years as part of a multi-hazard risk assessment (MHRA) to identify immediate and long-term hazards, such as those associated with earthquakes, flooding and sea-level rise. As the port’s lead geotechnical engineer for future programme phases, Fugro will use the MHRA inputs to develop and design optimal retrofit solutions for the port’s ageing seawall.
Fugro has been awarded its second-consecutive Geo-data solutions contract by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) to support the state’s Strategic Mapping Program (StratMap).
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.
Fugro has been awarded a Geo-data acquisition contract to support the World Bank in its efforts to support the Government of Romania in preparing flood hazard and risk maps, and flood risk management plans, at national level.
Direct exchange, lively discussions, lots of information and great entertainment. High acceptance of the digital offer in pandemic times by the geo-community.
Fugro is one of the successful companies to win innovation funding from Innovate UK’s ‘First of a Kind’ (FOAK2020) competition under the theme of optimised and cost-effective rail maintenance.
Fugro, the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, has announced a strategic partnership with Sea Kit International, winner of the Shell Ocean Discovery Xprize.
Fugro has been awarded a further substantial marine site characterisation project off the Dutch Coast.
The world is getting smart. At the heart of these tumultuous changes to our lives, economy and work lies digitalisation. And at the core of this transformation, it’s intelligently networked and applied coordinates that often create the added value. The geo IT sector gains from this. Its players create and supply smart geoinformation and services and position themselves firmly at the interface with industry and administration. Their growing influence is clearly apparent at Intergeo, the leading international trade fair for geodesy, geoinformation and land management.
After ten years of practical experience in the use of 3D planning A+S is now introducing Version 4 of the KorFin software. It is available in English, Russian and German. KorFin enables rail, road and overhead power line routes to be incorporated directly in the planning of 3D models.
