The project was completed for the West Virginia Division of Highways.

The West Virginia Route 10 project included surveying, mapping, shoulder widening, pavement widening, intersection improvements, ADA curb ramps, drainage, curve realignment, truck turn-outs, slide repair, piling walls, bridge rehabilitation and replacement design for 17 bridges, pavement markings, signing, maintenance of traffic and NEPA Evaluation. State-of-the-art surveying techniques were utilized with the Leica Pegasus: Two Mobile Mapping System. This vehicle-mounted mobile scanner acquires data faster and safer while moving at highway speeds.

Final plans were prepared for this project in approximately 90 days. A project of this magnitude and in this time frame was once thought to be impossible. Innovative techniques were employed to squeeze the project down to the utmost efficiency. The project was completed on time and under budget. From top to bottom, this was truly a team effort.
