In the latest episode of the BimTube Podcast, geospatial expert Sam Roberts discusses his 16 years in underground surveying and mapping. He emphasizes the crucial nature of precise underground data given the myriad of assets like pipes, cables, and sewers hidden beneath the surface. The challenges in obtaining such data can lead to safety risks and expensive construction delays. Sam introduces the concept of "digital twins" – 3D virtual models of the underground, aiding in data accuracy and efficient infrastructure planning. The podcast underscores two primary takeaways: the importance of high-quality underground information for safety and efficiency and the vital role of quality assurance in the process.

Takeaways:
Accurate and quality underground information is essential for safety and productivity.
Digital twins can be used to improve the accuracy of underground information.
Quality assurance is essential in underground surveys and mapping.
