Blue Bridge Scan on the Florida-Georgia Line

We were invited down to the Blue Bridge on the Florida-Georgia to push our systems’ limits. How could we pass up the opportunity to scan a technically complex bridge! This project was part of a customers’ deliverable where the project requirements were to “model everything in blue” and “need to count the rivets along the whole bridge”.

The data you see on this page was collected in 45 minutes of scan time, by walking along the bridge at a medium walking pace and by using a boat to scan underneath the bridge. After standard processing, some additional clean up and touch-ups was necessary to yield the data you see here.

Bridges Scans in Full Detail

By scanning on land and water, we captured data to display “everything blue” in amazing clarity. From I-beam cross-cuts, to hand-rail measurements, down to being able to count the rivets.

Raw, Complete Data

This raw, un-meshed data, showcases the level of data clarity the FlexScan 22 system recorded. Our customer used the bridge scan to extract all the tie-ins and a model of “everything blue” as per their project requirements.

Everything You Need

By scanning via both land and water, we gathered data from other important systems from the bridge scan – such as the main center gear that rotates the entire structure to allow boats to pass.
