Our Work
From Data to Decisions
Bristol 3rd Party Damage Claim Recovery
Repairs to damaged roadway and infrastructure assets through vehicular accidents or incidents are costly and can be recouped through the at-fault/responsible driver’s insurance. VDOT Bristol District did not have available personnel to compile an insurance claim package required by the Attorney General to pursue cases, thereby leaving the costs uncollected from insurance companies.
Bristol District Mowing Area Calculation Verification
VDOT Bristol District didn’t have accurate quantities for their mowing contracts along 477 centerline miles of roadway making it difficult to submit on time and increasing the likelihood that they would overpay for mowing.
Bristol Pipe Inspection with Pipe Crawler
In Bristol, VA, personnel could not fully visually examine aging pipe infrastructure and pipe failure due to a variety of issues including partially clogged and separated conditions, size, or length.
Capital Trail
The Capital Trail is a 51-mile paved bicycle/pedestrian shared use path linking Richmond to Williamsburg. VDOT is responsible for keeping the trail usable and safe, but lacked a way to identify needed repairs.
Effectively Scope Mowing Acreage
VDOT Staunton district lacked veri able data, leaving them vulnerable to mowing scope creep. As a result, they had no recourse to correct a dramatic increase in mowing costs for approximately 236 centerline miles of the Interstate system in the Staunton District.
Equipment Specification Writing
Salem District VDOT needed to build and submit a budget to acquire much needed equipment but lacked the expert staff needed to develop specifications. The upcoming fiscal year budget deadline was fast approaching so quickly building and justifying a budget was of the essence. Not obtaining critical funding would prevent Salem VDOT from being able to address the work that was needed to keep assets maintained and the public traveling smoothly and safely.
GIS Right-of-Way Inventory Review
VDOT needed to establish a reliable statewide inventory of tree-lined roadways, ditches, pipes, and unpaved shoulders within the right-of-way on interstate, primary, and secondary roads.
Interstate Maintenance Office Monitor – Culpeper District
Hiring restrictions prohibited VDOT from directly hiring a roadway monitor to oversee the maintenance contractors and operations on a section of Interstate 66 in the Culpeper District, running the risk of leaving critical work undone or unmonitored.
Interstate Maintenance Office Monitors – Bristol District
VDOT’s Bristol District Interstate Maintenance Office (IMO) assumed maintenance responsibilities when their maintenance service provider’s contact ended. Unfortunately, Bristol IMO lacked experience monitoring staff, which put them in danger of leaving critical work undone, such as contractor management, work plan development, pay voucher review, necessary reporting, and administrative tasks.
Interstate Maintenance Office Monitors – Salem District
Salem District Interstate Maintenance Office (IMO) assumed maintenance responsibilities when their maintenance service provider’s contract ended. Unfortunately, Salem IMO lacked experienced monitoring staff. They risked leaving critical work undone such as contractor management, work plan development, and required reporting.
Interstate Maintenance Office Snow Monitoring
VDOT required extra roadway monitors during severe winter weather events to ensure 300+ miles of interstates and major state routes around the Richmond area remained open for the traveling public and commerce.
Inventory Mapping and Assessment Bristol
When the VDOT Bristol District took back the maintenance of their interstates from a private maintenance service provider, they needed to obtain a current assessed inventory of 130 centerline miles for budgeting, planning, and contracting purposes.
