When it comes to maintaining a state’s transportation system, having data about how and when each infrastructure assets were built is critical. Key details, such as installation date and location, materials used, structure dimensions, and condition, are much more cost-effective to collect while the asset is being constructed than to go back and find after it’s already built.
To maximize efficiency and ensure that the necessary information is collected at the right time, the South Carolina DOT developed a best practices guide that notes the necessary data and the tools, technologies and strategies for collecting them.
