15-Years of Mobile LiDAR

15-Years: LiDAR Center of Excellence

 

15-Years: By the Numbers

 

15-Years of Excellence

 

15-Years of Mobile LiDAR!

Hard to believe it's been 15 years since we acquired our first Mobile LiDAR system.

We're kicking off the anniversary in style and again tapping into that same spirit of innovation. Stay tuned for big news on technology, equipment, and signature projects.

Kebede Serving on NCHRP 10-146 Panel

Congratulations to Nathan Kebede, P.E., National Practice Lead – Pavement Services, from Michael Baker International’s Austin, Texas, office, who was recently selected to serve as a panelist for the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 10-146: Development of Quality Control and Quality Assurance System for Traffic Speed Deflection Devices (TSDD).

The objective of the proposed research is to develop a reliable procedure to ensure the quality of pavement structural assessments with TSDD devices. The use of TSDD is an emerging technology for pavement evaluation and pavement management, and Michael Baker is one of the earliest firms to leverage this technology for clients.

The NCHRP is a national research program carried out through the collaborative efforts of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM), and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Created in 1962 to conduct research in acute problem areas that affect highway planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance nationwide, the NCHRP is administered by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and sponsored by the individual state DOTs of the AASHTO in cooperation with the FHWA.

Happy Independence Day!

We hope everyone has a STAR-SPANGLED 4th of July holiday!

As you celebrate our nation's Independence Day with friends and family we encourage you to take a few moments to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to protect and secure the liberties we enjoy.

The Three Sisters

 As part of a large engineering firm that is Ranked #4 in the nation for Bridges, our LiDAR Center of Excellence is afforded amazing opportunities to collaborate on Signature projects and drive innovation at a national level.

The Three Sisters Bridges in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, also known as the Roberto Clemente (Sixth Street), the Andy Warhol (Seventh Street), and the Rachel Carson (Ninth Street) Bridges, Rehabilitation Project is featured in the latest issue of Roads and Bridges, the industry resource for the road and bridge construction market.

 
The Three Sisters Bridges make up the only trio of identical, side-by-side bridges in the world and are the first self-anchored suspension bridges constructed in the United States. Michael Baker International provided preliminary engineering, final design and construction-phase services for the rehabilitation of each of the 90-year old historic bridges – owned and maintained by Allegheny County. The team approached the rehabilitation of each structure separately as each had its own needs and posed its own challenges. The designers combined recognition of historical significance with modern engineering practices to complete a structurally superior, sustainable rehabilitation project.

Innovating From The Beginning

Innovation and technology have been at the heart of our Geospatial Division since the 1950's, and we proudly continue to push the envelope today with technology inserts for enterprise geospatial solutions.

PS - we REALLY like the clip at the 1:18 mark. LiDAR for the WIN!

Celebrating National Surveyors Week

Surveying is at the heart of our Mobile LiDAR operations. We're always happy to celebrate the contributions surveying brings to our daily life, but it sure is nice to have an entire week each year to put the spotlight on the second oldest profession.

Happy National Pie Day!

CIRCLING back AROUND to celebrate National Pie Day! 

We wouldn't be able to ROLL through our projects without it.

ASHE NY Metro Project of the Year!

We're excited to announce that Michael Baker International’s work on the Hunts Point Interstate Access Improvement Project Contract 2 in The Bronx, New York, was recently honored with the 2023 Large Project of the Year Award from the American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) New York Metro Section.

Our LiDAR team is THRILLED to have been part of such a complex and challenging project!

Michael Baker served as the Roadway Designer for the Hunts Point Interstate Access Improvement Project, providing roadway and staging design services including geometry, grading and modeling for approximately 1.5 miles of the elevated Bruckner Expressway (Interstate 278 – New York State Department of Transportation roadway) and Bruckner Boulevard (New York City Department of Transportation roadway), as well as two new interchange ramps under an accelerated design-build schedule.
