These spatial data products and 3D modelling services are used to assess geo-hazards and difficult ground conditions across the environmental, planning and insurance sectors.\u00a0 By making this information available at an early stage, in a digital and inter-operable format, ground investigations can be better planned and buildings and urban infrastructure can be designed more appropriately. For example, BGS constructed a high-resolution geological model of the Crossrail Station at Farringdon in London, particularly focusing on where geological faults may occur. Understanding the faulting pattern enabled the engineers to predict the potential occurrence of water-filled sand bodies, which are hazardous if excavated. During excavation, the geological model was validated and updated frequently. The outcome &#8211; an improved understanding and recognition of a complex faulted area, which led to an optimised ground investigation and an improved understanding of risks for construction, resulting in a better design and, ultimately, improved estimation of final costs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23736 aligncenter\" alt=\"geothermal007\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-372x1024.jpg\" width=\"372\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-372x1024.jpg 372w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-109x300.jpg 109w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-768x2112.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-100x275.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-696x1914.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-1068x2937.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007-153x420.jpg 153w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/geothermal007.jpg 436w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Ground source heat pump systems utilise the ground to provide heating and cooling for buildings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The use of data management and information modelling to reduce whole life costs of infrastructure projects is particularly important. Development can be carried out in almost all locations but there is a need to take \u2018permissible risk\u2019 into account; that is, to be aware of the costs of development and mitigation from the outset. Difficult ground conditions are more manageable if they are anticipated, and if there is sufficient money, technology and expertise to deal with the problem and if the land provides sufficient economic return to warrant additional investment. However, unforeseen (difficult\/adverse) ground conditions remain problematic and are a significant source of project overruns and overspend. Insufficient understanding of subsurface ground conditions is generally recognised by the construction industry across the UK and Europe as a key factor in overspending, project delays, and overly conservative design.<\/p>\n<p>New digital data technologies, open data policies and inter-operable BIM approaches bring opportunities to sync 2D, 3D and 4D geological and environmental data with building information across multiple spatial scales.\u00a0 With this, there is increased potential to define the geological and environmental hazards that may impact on our development but also to understand the dynamic environmental setting within which the development lies.\u00a0 There is growing appreciation that our built environment can be more intimately linked with the functions and services that our natural environment provides.\u00a0 To what extent can we increase the economic return of the ground beneath our cities for example, by greater utilisation of ground heat in our buildings, better matching building design with local building materials, or by using the ground to store water and filter greywater? Where the current geoscience approach to infrastructure development is centred on hazards and constraints, the future focus should be one of geological value, opportunity and optimization.\u00a0 To facilitate enhanced 3D and 4D BIM approaches and integration of geo-environmental information we, as an environmental community, need to work towards open data standards, flexible data licensing policies, network based client server models and live web-services.\u00a0 In this way, we can maximise the extent to which geo-environmental data is collected and shared but we ensure that domain experts retain ownership of, and responsibility for, the data and models.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Kate Royse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Science Director or Environmental Modelling<\/p>\n<p>British Geological Survey<\/p>\n<p>k.royse@bgs.ac.uk<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\"><span>www.bgs.ac.uk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Please note: this is a commercial profile<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephanie Bricker, Urban Geoscience team leader at the British Geological Survey describes how BIM approaches can help unlock the potential of the ground beneath cities\u2026 The geological sciences have an important, but often under-appreciated part to play in securing sustainable global cities and can support urban innovation and city performance, reduce our environmental footprint and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[305],"tags":[],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-23735","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-bim-news"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The ground beneath cities - opportunity for urban design | Planning, Building &amp;
