The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) contracted with Laser Geomatics to scan the Atrisco Pedestrian and Utility Bridge just east of the Coors/I-40 interchange as a part of the overall redesign of the highly traveled interchange. The structure was scanned and partially modeled to allow designers to better understand the impact of subtle alignment and grade changes near the bridge. The key to this project's success hinged on the ability of Laser Geomatics to provide surface information and bridge geometry in a matter of days, rather than weeks, and the ability to accomplish this without any lane closures.

The scanning portion of this project took approximately 12 hours and included 13 scans. Bohannan Huston, Inc. provided the traditional surveying necessary to align the scan data into state plane coordinates. After collection of the scan data on a Wednesday and Thursday (with no lane closures), the scans were post-processed and the following deliverables were created and delivered within two weeks:

- Microstation files with bridge vector linework
  and partially modeled structure, vector
  linework of walls, concrete wall barrier,
  lane lines and centerlines

- Inroads Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
 
   
Digital Photo   Point Cloud   3-D DTM
