M-20 Mobile LiDAR Project

Spicer Group provided mobile LiDAR services to support the complete design survey for approximately 4,000 linear feet of four-lane barrier-divided highway in Midland, Michigan. Mobile LiDAR services were specifically used to keep surveyors out of heavily traveled lanes and the colorized LiDAR point cloud was used to develop 3D virtual animations representing the existing conditions of the bridge. 

Spicer Group was the design survey consultant responsible for all aspects of the surveying component of the project. 

KEY DELIVERABLES 

3-D Microstation drawings meeting MDOT specifications 

True-color LiDAR dataset used to develop existing and proposed models and animations 

Animations were a huge asset when presenting design alternatives to the public 

Extremely detailed models of the bridge were developed as a result of the high-resolution LiDAR dataset
