- 2:30pm | Award presentation to Housing & Development Board (HDB)
- 2:35pm | HDB: Streamlining as-built data with digitisation, automation and enabling cross-agency collaboration
Speakers: Stacey Liang and Elizabeth How, Housing & Development Board, Singapore
In recent years, growing demand for public housing has compelled the HDB to ramp up the supply of flats and accelerate construction. Throughout the lifecycle of these developments—from planning to construction and operations—various types of geospatial information are crucial. This growth in volume has intensified the need to enhance data digitization workflows, ensuring efficient data management across all stages of development.The project's objective is to digitise post-construction, as-built stage data, replacing pre-construction, design-stage data as the most up-to-date version of geospatial building information. These datasets are important for various data analyses, services, and operations within the HDB, and they are also shared with the Whole-of-Government for other agencies to use.
Conventionally, data quality verification would be done through visual checks. The new workflow uses ArcPy to automate checks on attribute errors and geometry differences, eliminating human errors in repetitive and onerous checks while allowing automatic generation of data quality reports.
- 2:55pm | Award presentation to Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)
- 3:05pm | MPA: Using digital twin to shape the future of maritime safety
Speakers: William Wong and Lawrence Chew, Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore
As Singapore advances maritime decarbonisation, managing risks from alternative fuels like methanol and ammonia is crucial to prevent catastrophic incidents in the busy port waters.MPA’s proof-of-concept maritime digital twin, powered by ArcGIS, integrates hydrographic, AIS, and real-time weather data into a dynamic 3D environment.
This geospatial platform enhances situational awareness, simulates fuel dispersions, and optimises emergency response — setting a new standard for maritime safety and resilience.Discover how MPA partners with our Institutes of Higher Learning and leverages GIS and digital twin technology to shape the future of maritime operations.
- 3:25pm | What’s new with ArcGIS: Discover the latest in Geospatial innovation
