Resurface & Safety Improvements Turnpike Mainline

St. Lucie and Indian River counties in Florida sought to mill and resurface 9 miles of the 4-lane roadway to improve driving conditions, increase safety, and rehabilitate pavement along Florida’s Turnpike. This project included a challenging accelerated schedule.

For nearly 36 lane miles, DRMP provided surveying services, including right-of-way mapping; design surveys; pavement cross sections; mobile LiDAR data collection; terrain model development; reflectorless surveying; realtime Kinematics surveying; GPS data control work; and field investigations.

DRMP surveyors developed innovative data collection and survey processes to deliver data quicker and to allow the engineer of record to analyze cross slopes, lane widths, guardrail heights and clearances under overhead improvements.

DRMP’s efficient surveying team was able to adapt to the project’s accelerated schedule and deliver accurate survey services using innovative methods to support the roadway’s milling and resurfacing.
