US-131 Bypass Construction Staking
Wade Trim provided construction staking services for freeway, ramps
and 14 bridge structures for the US-131 Bypass project in Cadillac,
Michigan. Conventional stakeout for all bridges and a portion of the
pavement grades were performed. Calculations for final quantities
were prepared for the entire project. GPS data files were also prepared
for machine-controlled stakeout during each phase of the project. The
project received a 2004 Eminent Conceptor Award for engineering, the highest
award given, from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Michigan
and the Michigan Society of Professional Engineers.

I-496 Reconstruction
The Michigan Department of Transportation expedited the
$42.4 million improvement project for I-496. The project
encompassed rebuilding the east and westbound lanes, several
ramps and deep overlays on 21 bridges on a two-mile segment
of I-496 from US-127 west to Pine Street. Wade Trim was responsible
for design survey needed to finish construction plans and construction
staking, including contractor layout of footings, columns and pier caps.
Wade Trim also provided over double the staff assigned to this
award-winning project to restore traffic flow within budget
and the time frame.

M-85 Drawbridge Laser Scan and Survey
Wade Trim conducted a bridge structure detail and approach survey
of the M-85 (Fort Street) Bascule Bridge over the Rouge River in
Detroit, Michigan. MDOT is studying replacement alternatives for the bridge
and needs measurements of the complex concrete abutments and
structures that house the draw bridge mechanisms. Wade Trim used
conventional survey methods and laser scanning to acquire "as-built"
measurements of the concrete structures housing the gears, motors
and huge, concrete counter-weights.

Mt. Pleasant Facilities Management GIS
The City of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, is developing a Facilities Management GIS
System to assist with management activities. To improve infrastructure
management, Wade Trim gathered utility information for the City’s
six-square-mile area. Each utility was located and attribute information
collected. Global positioning technology and conventional survey methods
were used. Position and attribute data were recorded using data collectors.
The information was collected and point maps were created for the utility
system base maps. Wade Trim gathered information for over 8,500 positions,
and the expected accuracy for each was ±1 meter or better.
