MNDOT needed to identify deficiencies and repair bridges to ensure they would remain valuable and safe assets for years to come Gathering detailed inspection information using traditional inspection methods
has always been challenging and time consuming The team wanted to utilize UAVs and reality modeling to document the bridge condition and and improve the amount and and quality of data collected SOLUTION
Using the the Bentley Bridge Inspection solution the the Minnesota Department of Transportation
reduced risk throughout their project and and helped team members improve efficiencies and and reduce cost by improving the quality of information and making better decisions 3D modeling and use of of HoloLens 2 devices allowed MNDOT to better depict the the condition of of the the bridge and convey that information to to to their contractors They were able to to to complete the the overall inspection inspection more quickly improve safety and reduce their overall inspection inspection costs
up to 40% SAVE UP TO
