Improving Transportation Project Delivery with Scanning & Visualization

We asked Vice President Dan Holmes, PE, LEED AP: Q: “How do you leverage technology within the Transportation business line to drive efficiency in your project work for clients?”

A: Our transportation projects rely on accurate, high-quality existing conditions to deliver effective and efficient design solutions. We leverage advanced technologies such as drones, LiDAR, and reality capture to collect field data quickly and safely, reducing field time and minimizing rework. In addition, GIS-based asset management tools help municipalities better understand roadway conditions and support prioritization and long-term planning.

By integrating these technologies early in project development, we streamline workflows, reduce uncertainty, and improve coordination through clear, accessible visualizations, and digital collaboration tools. This approach allows challenges and opportunities to be identified and addressed efficiently.

Ultimately, our technology-focused approach helps clients make informed decisions, prioritize investments, and strengthen their position for funding by delivering well-supported, defensible solutions that benefit both the client and the communities they serve.
