AbstractThe State of Qatar witnessed an unprecedented transformation during the past three decades in various sectors, more specifically in public infrastructure. The rapid transformation coupled with urbanization has increased the density of public infrastructure assets both at the surface and sub-surface. Ashghal, the Public Works Authority (PWA) contributes to achieving the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV) by leading the transformation of Qatar's public infrastructure delivery and improving operational efficiency. Augmented Reality (AR) Technology that interfaces digital information with the real-world environment both spatially and temporally engenders tangible impact in the area of construction planning, operations, and maintenance of public works and assets. AR Initiative is identified as part of the Geospatial Strategic Master Plan for PWA. AR Technology has proven successful in various industries like entertainment, health, manufacturing, etc., however, it has serious limitations and lacks adopting changes in large-scale implementation in the context of public works. In this paper, the intent, technology selection, and implementation roadmap are discussed through a case study. This case study presents various use cases considered in the public works domain including the use of AR with Geospatial and BIM Technology. This paper further discusses the strategy for deployment, best use, limitation, and factors to be considered for full-scale deployment. This paper summarizes the study outcomes of the current effort undertaken by PWA in deploying AR solutions and discusses the feasibility of AR solutions in public work is a myth or reality.
