This episode features a great discussion with Steve Rienks, leading civil engineer and project manager for transportation, highway and railway projects in the American Midwest. We chat about the dangers of poor mapping and misclassifications, the progress towards better US standards, as well as some of the challenges caused by the elements in America, like preparing for freezing pipes or Californian wildfires. We also talk about the challenges that Australian Utilities Professionals face in comparison to their US counterparts when it comes to the power of the authorities (Steve doesn’t understand how we can get anything done!), and the future of 3D modelling to change the industry.
