South Carolina Department of Transportation Chooses Intergraph®'s GeoMedia® 3D
Intergraph's GeoMedia 3D offers South Carolina Department of Transportation accurate, cost-effective project management HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jan. 27, 2012 — (PRNewswire) — South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), responsible for 62 percent of South Carolina roads, selected Intergraph®'s GeoMedia® 3D to visualize three-dimensional (3D) surface models in pre-construction project planning, resulting in a more accurate estimate of expenditures associated with the engineering of project alternatives. Utilizing this type of assessment helps SCDOT lower project costs and establish more confidence in project completion dates through a more realistic representation of their data in 3D. "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." GeoMedia 3D is the latest addition to the Intergraph GeoMedia product suite, a set of well-integrated applications that offer a wide range of geospatial processing capabilities. GeoMedia 3D is a GeoMedia add-on product that extends the functionality of Intergraph's geospatial solutions through an integrated 3D visualization and analysis environment.
