[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT),  responsible for 62 percent of South Carolina roads, has selected Intergraph’s GeoMedia 3D to visualize three-dimensional (3D) surface models in pre-construction project planning.

“With regard to corridor planning, GeoMedia 3D provides us with the ability to examine all factors that have a significant impact on a project,” said Donny McElveen, GIS Manager, SCDOT. “Now, we can conduct a 3D fly-through of corridor alternatives, which allows us to effectively visualize the interaction of various land use components. This, in turn, helps us mitigate the risk associated with each project.”
