Fugro, the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, highlighted the critical role of data-driven solutions in building climate-resilient
urban infrastructure at the recent Water Management Conference in Dubai.

The event, held on September 10, 2024 at the Dusit Thani Hotel, brought together experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to
explore the UAE’s strategies for stormwater and wastewater management in response to increasing climate risks, including recent
severe flooding.

Dr Talia Sherrard, Regional Director Strategic Sales and Marketing, delivered a presentation titled "From data to decisions:
mapping the bigger picture with geospatial insights."

She stressed the pivotal role of precise Geo-data in designing cities that are better equipped to handle extreme weather events such
as heavy rainfall and storms. She further emphasised that Fugro’s Geo-data services unlock insights not only during the
conceptual and detailed design stages but also in supporting data-driven decisions for managing climate change and enhancing
resilience throughout the decade of planned construction. This approach ensures that infrastructure remains sustainable and
adaptable to future climate challenges.

Accurate data
“Resilient infrastructure starts with accurate data,” Sherrard explained, highlighting Fugro’s advanced mapping, modelling, and
monitoring technologies as critical tools in managing stormwater and reducing flood risks.
