US-83 Survey
Our team was selected by the Kansas Department of Transportation to survey an 8.5-mile stretch on US-83 from the Scott-Finney County line north towards Scott City. To tackle this large project area, we blended traditional and new technology.
For this project, we performed a full design survey and right-of-way development to support the design of passing lanes and intersection improvements. Instead of capturing topographic features and roadway surfaces by foot along the corridor, we collaborated with a consultant to provide aerial and mobile LiDAR services.
Using this method allowed our crews to focus on other items needed for the survey, such as establishing section lines, right-of-way lines, and locating utilities. This approach allowed for the collection of more survey data in less time, had minimal impact on traffic, and increased safety for our team.
