The Survey and Lands Engineering Department of the New Mexico Department of Transportation contacted Laser Geomatics in need of surface and existing feature data for the area surrounding Broadway Avenue and the Bloomfield Wash. Since existing mapping proved to be inadequate, the request was made for mapping of 1000 linear feet of roadway centered over the Bloomfield Wash as well as the location and orientation of the existing 6-barrel concrete box culvert and it's associated head and wingwalls.

Laser Geomatics scanned the required areas on a Wednesday and Thursday and tied the scans to existing project survey control with traditional survey while in the field. After field collection, the data was post-processed (points sampled, DTM and vector linework created) and submitted as a final product the following Tuesday for a project of five working days. This deliverable required no supplemental survey.

The key to this project's success hinged on the ability of Laser Geomatics to provide a surface and CBC geometry in a matter of days, rather than weeks, and the ability to accomplish this without any lane closures. These deliverables were provided at a cost equal to or less than that required for traditional surveying or photogrammetric mapping.
