UESI & CI: Unlocking Subsurface Data: Workflow from SUE to GIS
As infrastructure projects increasingly rely on precise subsurface data, standardizing how Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) deliverables transition from CADD to GIS is critical. This one-hour technical session details a standardized data pipeline designed to automate and streamline this transition. This session is recommended for SUE professionals, GIS specialists, CADD technicians, and project engineers involved in utility coordination, subsurface data management, and digital project delivery.
