Atlas Earns ACEC National Recognition for Application of New Technologies in LA Metro Structural Inspections
June 14 2023 - 12:00PM
Atlas Technical Consultants, a leading infrastructure and
environmental solutions provider, announced today that it has
earned an American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) National
Recognition Award for its application of new technologies in the
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (LA
Metro) Transit Asset Management Program, as part of the Engineering
Excellence Awards Program.
Atlas deployed Data Recon, an application-based software that
can be accessed on a small tablet, to collate structural data under
one platform and reduce field time by more than 50 percent. The
task force also worked with STRUCINSPECT to implement automated,
data-collection methodologies and artificial intelligence assisted
software to identify, quantify and size defects, and generate 3D
models and orthomosaic maps to give LA Metro valuable insights to
make more informed, optimized maintenance decisions.
“Innovation starts with thinking outside the box,” Atlas Project
Manager Patrick Lowry said. “LA Metro’s innovative procurement
methodology enabled us to work with STRUCINSPECT and leverage their
artificial intelligence assisted technology to deliver solutions
that far exceeded all of our expectations.”
As prime consultant, Atlas provided structural inspection
services under a five-year contract and an annual $1.2-million,
firm-fixed-price budget. This entailed inspecting and rating
light-rail and roadway bridges, tunnels, pedestrian crossings and
retaining walls. For each structural system, Atlas performed visual
inspections, provided a federal ‘State of Good Repair’ condition
rating, recommended corrective repairs and follow-up actions
specific to each defect, prepared inspection reports, and created
comprehensive databases for defects, assets, and photos.
The inspections were performed in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the Federal Transit Administration, California
Public Utilities Commission, Federal Highway Administration,
National Bridge Inspection Standards, American Public
Transportation Association (APTA), and Metro Engineering
Standards.
