North Carolina Turnpike Authority Uses Drone LiDAR to Improve Oversight on Complete 540 Project

North Carolina Turnpike Authority Uses Drone LiDAR to Improve Oversight on Complete 540 Project

The North Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA) is implementing a pilot program that utilizes drone-based LiDAR technology to enhance oversight of the final phase of the Complete 540 project. This initiative aims to provide more accurate tracking of construction progress and improve safety measures on major transportation infrastructure. As construction advances, the use of aerial LiDAR will allow for a detailed assessment of the project, ultimately facilitating better scheduling and oversight. The integration of this technology marks a significant step in modernizing construction management practices in North Carolina.
