Comprehensive Construction Dashboards Save Time and Money for the Virginia Department of Transportation

Client: Virginia Department of Transportation (Owner), I-66 Mobility Partners (Contract Holder)
Location: Fairfax and Prince William Counties, Va.

The bridge dashboard displays the total number of items in each work completion category.

Challenge

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) needed to build and improve more than 20 miles of Interstate Highway 66, including express lanes, park-and-ride lots, and bus service and transit routes. VDOT partnered with I-66 Express Mobility Partners (EMP) to operate and maintain the I-66 Express public-private partnership.

With multiple project elements, including electrical work, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), bridge construction, pavement, noise walls, and drainage, EMP needed to coordinate these moving parts and the respective timelines and completion progress.

Solution

As part of the Gannett Fleming team and an Esri® platinum partner, GeoDecisions built a web-based, mobile-friendly, interactive project dashboard and map that allowed field users to leverage Esri ArcGIS Collector to enter status information for each construction phase. We created this real-time data visualization dashboard to provide analytics, construction data, and project progress.

The visualization and data analysis functionality allowed VDOT, I-66 EMP, and the entire team to:

  • Identify issues.

  • Manage risks.

  • Inform decision-making.

  • Facilitate clear communication.
