Greenville, Ayden and Winterville have partnered together to use new technology to assess their roads. They’ve contracted with Transmap to do an assessment of every street in the three cities. Transmap uses a specially outfitted van that uses LIDAR and photography to evaluate road conditions. It actually looks below the road surface without having to take a core sample, damaging the road. This will enable engineers to prioritize microsurfacing, resurfacing or complete rebuild projects. Transmap will also provide an inventory of other roadway features such as locations of light poles and manholes. I’m George Olsen.
