Knowledge Well Press Release

Knowledge Well Announces 2011 Infrastructure Solutions Series

Expert presentations and interactive training by world-class professionals

By: Josh Eure

Knowledge Well—a non-profit consulting organization aimed at sharing and delivering expertise to emerging and under-resourced areas in the world—will be holding a seminar series in Raleigh on December 7, 2011.  The seminar is designed to highlight both the global benefits of optical remote sensing technology LIDAR as a crucial first step in today’s building information modeling [BIM] environments, as well as LIDAR’s utility in the NC Department of Transportation’s local bridge improvement program.

LIDAR is an effective tool for land surveyors, planning and GIS professionals, civil engineers and designers, heavy construction contractors, and others seeking to improve their process of data collection and analysis.  There is a steep learning curve on research and comprehension involving certain aspects of remote sensing technology, and this is a great opportunity to learn.

The series will feature eight professional development hours of presentation, research and visualization, which can be registered for immediately.  Knowledge Well will start their seminar with David Lee Fagerman, RPLS/PLS, transportation infrastructure expert and keynote speaker.  Fagerman has worked in the surveying and civil engineering industry for more than 30 years.  He began his career in roadway and boundary surveying with the US Forest Service, then later moved into commercial consulting, providing services in surveying, civil engineering, construction layout, and photogrammetric control.  Fagerman will be presenting on the practical uses of LIDAR for planning and environmental mandates.

Other speakers in the series will include:

• Riadh Munjy, PhD, World Leader in LIDAR Imagery and Visualization
• Jeffery Garland, PE, PMP, NC State Value Engineer
• Jerry Nave, NC A&T University Professor
• Tim Fish, PE, PLS, Geomatics Engineer

"Knowledge Well relies on a strong team of companies and individuals who are motivated to transform the barriers faced by under-resourced nations into opportunities for successful business enterprise."
