Traditionally, highway-resurfacing projects have been a challenge, not only for the contractor, but the inconvenienced community through which the road passes. To collect the project data needed to perform the resurface, typically required lane closures and a team of surveyors collecting data points from along the side of the road with diverted traffic whizzing past.  It was a slow, cumbersome, and dangerous process that affected the daily commuter flow and affected the contractor’s project timeline. But things are getting better. 

“It’s our understanding that the Olivina winery building is a future candidate for a historic restoration, museum, or community center,” stated Ron Oberlander who is with Topcon Positioning Systems, which is headquartered in Livermore. “That’s why we decided to donate our time, expertise, and resources to create thorough architectural documentation of the structure.”

Due to the project's large size, Topcon equipment played a vital role in a commercial building expansion recently completed by McCarty Companies.

The project required precise, accurate measurements to tell the manufacturers of the new windows and skin. Any flaws and the new windows would not fit.

When a major section of Interstate 94, the primary artery into and out of downtown Minneapolis, was slated for resurfacing in advance of the city hosting the 2018 Super Bowl, Intelligent Compaction played a major role in the project.
