Listen in to our Sunday night LIVE interview from Cairns.

I got to sit down and have an impromptu chat with Jemma Picco, Registered Cadastral Surveyor (Land Surveyor) and her role as the Principal Surveyor at the Department of Resources in Queensland. Amongst all things surveying we also discussed the importance of mentoring formal or informal and being in the position of role model for younger surveyors. We talked about finding old trees and survey marks from surveys in the far north of Australia to managing a team of surveyors.

Growing up in Brisbane, attending an all girls school where her careers advisor handed her a book and said look in this section to find you career... From there Jemma attended Queensland University of Technology completing a double degree.

International Women's Day 2021, 8th of March 2021. It’s a long episode but there was no other way of presenting such wonderful women. International Women’s Day means different things to different people, but the global focus on equality and celebration is clear. Started in the early 1900s our mighty and tenacious suffragettes forge purposeful action for a quality, it was the suffragettes who started International Women’s Day with the first officially named International Women’s Day event held in 1911. And still to this day International Women’s Day continues to be a powerful platform globally that unifies & drives gender parity, while celebrating social, cultural, economic & political achievements of women. Today let’s celebrate and recognise the important and impressive achievements of women globally. I was privileged to speak to many women in the Geospatial Community across the globe. Here are a few of their brief stories. I wish to acknowledge them here (in alphabetical order): Amanda Khoury Amanda Li Amy Steiger Anna Paterak Dana Hay Ela Gallen Elaine Spencer Eva Rodriguez Rodriguez Jodie Kast Dr Karen Joyce Kate Taylor Kellie Dean Laetitia Reboux Lara Trento Marijke De Cleer Megan Grainger Michelle McJames Narelle Underwood Rachael Lawrence Rachel Brown Sam Dadfar Sarah Kordic Sarah Mudgway Tara Mullen To the women who took the time to complete the questionnaire but weren’t recorded....

In my very first face to face interview... shall I say I was very nervous!!

I wasn’t sure if this conversation was going to be had, with the rival of Holden & Ford… But we’re grown adults & put our personal beliefs aside lol.

Tim is the Director of Locate & Map in Sydney specialising in Subsurface Utility mapping . Tim is a second gen surveyor and growing up he always wanted to be a surveyor by taking after his dad, although he did spend some time as directional driller. He has been in the industry for 15 years beginning his career with Lean Lackenby and Hayward & RMS. 

Tim and his Team just celebrated 7 years of business, very exciting!!!

We discussed the importance of culture within the business, the average age of his team, at 35 he is OLD, and the importance of inclusiveness and responsibility within the company. Data sharing in the locating industry, Implementation of 3d drain scanning, point cloud data, awareness of emerging technology, coding, mental health, kids, cars, podcasts & more cars. Dave & Adam from Surv3D were mentioned as was Paul & Geoff from Locators, Gordon Bell & Grant Kilpatrick (RIP), Two legends of the Surveying Industry. 

With a lot of laughs along the way.

Tim and his team are proud supporters of the Rural Fire Service. If you can help or support them every little bit helps. https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/

It's been a while! The guys (and Will Wing!) were joined this week by Larry Fox, VP of Marketing & Business Development at Bad Elf and Christoph Strecha, Founder of Pix4D who shared insights into how the integration of Bad Elf’s GNSS technology with Pix4D’s software enhances accuracy and efficiency for geospatial professionals. We dive into the collaboration between Bad Elf and Pix4D, exploring their innovative 3D scanning solution and its impact on the AEC industry. We dug even deeper into comparing traditional reality capture methods like lidar and photogrammetry, addressing challenges in 3D spatial data capture, the future of mobile 3D scanning in AEC workflows, and the ease of integration with existing surveying and scanning workflows.

Surveyor Says! The NSPS Podcast
Wed, 04 May 2022 16:00:00 -0400

ATTENTION SURVEYORS!

ALTA/NSPS LAND TITLE SURVEY STANDARDS ARE HERE TO PROTECT YOU!

A recent inquiry from a surveying professional posed the following question: can a plat be titled a "ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey" without doing any field work? We bring in our resident Land Title Survey expert, Mr. Gary Kent, to pose this question and others as surveyors nationwide are under fire for cheaper surveys and quicker turnaround times.

No, you are NOT the only surveyor to refuse to do something unethical on a survey, so listen in on Gary's advice on how to deal with unreasonable clients and requests. Doing anything else may up costing your license and career.

This “Future Focus” episode features one of the best stories so far told on the “Surveyor Says!” podcast. A recently minted CST Level 1, Steve Holliger knew nothing about surveying a few short years ago when recruited for a utility mapping job. After helping Ben Shinabery and the QK4 team complete the daunting task, he stuck around to learn more about the profession and began the road to a fulfilling career. Your host, Tim Burch, NSPS President-Elect, recently talked with Steve and Ben to discuss how surveying came into both of their lives and how the CST program has given Steve incentive to become a great surveyor. The intrigue of surveying (and benefits of the NSPS CST Program) highlight this great episode of “Surveyor Says!” the NSPS Podcast.

In keeping with the theme of Women’s History Month, our very special guest for this episode is Juliana Blackwell, Director of the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). She recently talked with Tim Burch to share her career path leading up to her current position at the helm of the nation’s oldest federal science agency. From her days on a NOAA research ship, in the field with a survey crew collecting geodetic information, to the floor of the United Nations coordinating geopotential reference frames, Juliana’s story is fascinating and inspiring. She reiterates the importance of the need for upgrading the national spatial reference system (NSRS) to steer our future of autonomous guidance.

We are proud of our partnership with Juliana and NGS, so thanks for listening to this episode of “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast.

Keeping an eye on the structural components of a 189-foot historic chimney has traditionally meant building scaffolding and sending people to precarious heights – a time-consuming, costly, and dangerous endeavor. Doug Reed of Meridian Associates talks about how a small drone equipped with a high-resolution camera quickly collected hundreds of images to provide a comprehensive assessment of the structure.

NLC conducts every land survey using a three-stage process. Stage I Record Research, Stage II Field Work, and Stage III Analysis and Map/Report Creation. This three-stage process is followed to ensure that our opinions are complete, accurate, and robust. The sub-processes of each Stage may vary depending on the type of survey being conducted.

Stage I Record Research

Record research is key when conducting any type of survey, especially a boundary retracement survey. While most surveyors obtain the vesting deed, and some surveyors follow the chain-of-title beyond the vesting deed, it is not usual for surveyors to do a cursory Stage I, thus missing boundary line agreements, trial court cases, and other important conveyances. Without a thorough Stage I, it is impossible to conduct Stage II or Stage III properly.

In this MM session, Tony discusses how NLC conducts Stage I and some of the key processes that are often overlooked by boundary surveyors.
