Benefits of HDS
Virtually obtain bridge structure measurements
Significant cost savings. Reduce or eliminate traffic control costs
No return visits – virtually survey any item on bridge structure
Unprecedented level of detail ie. Bolt patterns, cracks in concrete abutments, lane lines etc.
Applications for HDS
Civil:
Bridge Structure Mapping
Topographic Mapping
Construction As-Builts
Historic Preservation Surveying
Case Studies
Civil:
US 141 over Menominee River
Plymouth Road over I-275
Huron River Drive over I-275
I-94 over I-275
9 Bridges along I-96 near Telegraph
Common Software Formats

• What is it ?
– “Hydrographic Surveying” is the process of
collecting positional and depth information in
order to accurately chart lake/channel bottom
conditions.
– “Bathymetry” is the measurement of the
water’s depth
• It is the marine equivalent of a “Topographic” or
“Topo” map
