Kentucky Transportation Cabinet bridges project

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is responsible for inspecting 14,000 bridges across Kentucky, 9,000 of which are maintained by the state and 5,000 by local counties. When gathering and entering data, the organization relied on spreadsheets and manual paperwork.

When state legislature passed a dramatic new highway plan that allotted $350 million to renovate or replace 340 bridges in two years. “That was about five times more than we typically addressed in a single year,” says KYTC program manager Royce Meredith. “It was a huge order, and we knew we’d need a team effort to succeed.”

“We developed the full workflow of a project for the KYTC from screening through project closeout in Trimble Unity Construct, powered by e-Builder—all in less than a year. To date, that workflow has been utilized on more than 400 bridges.”
