Surveying
18 - 20 October 2017 Lisbon, Portugal
| The 7th International Conference on Engineering Surveying
(INGEO2017) was held October 18-20, 2017 in Lisbon, Portugal.
INGEO2017 was organized together with Department of Surveying of
the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Slovak University of
Technology (FC STU) in Bratislava and the National Laboratory
for Civil Engineering (LNEC) in Lisbon. |

The series of INGEO conferences are organised under
the umbrella of FIG Commission 6. The longevity of this event shows the importance of the theme -
monitoring and safety of engineering structures.
The theme of the event
“Monitoring: Needs and Solutions” expresses the need of the joining, in
one event, the two communities - surveyors and civil engineers. In
INGEO2017, the producers of data and information (surveyors,
geographical engineers and other specialist in geospatial measuring
techniques applied to monitoring) was meet the users of our information:
the civil engineers. The civil engineers responsible by the security of
structures like buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, power plants and
power distribution infrastructures, breakwaters, roads, slopes, etc.,
have been presented needs and expectations to correctly describe the
state of the art of the structures. The surveyors were presenting novel
technology which they improve to meet the requirements of our clients
for the information (data) as well as the accuracy and reliability of
these information.
At the Opening Ceremony in the welcome address the
representatives of institutes which participate in the conference
organisation were thanked: Carlos Alberto, president of LNEC; António Batista, head

the agreement between the organisers and editorial board of selected
journals (Applied Geomatics, Allgemeine Vermessungs-Nachrichten, Slovak
Journal of Civil Engineering) have the conference participants the
