Authors: kourosh langari

URS Corporation as a Bay Area Rapid Transit System's consultant has been utilizing LIDAR Scanning for various types of Infrastructure Projects.
Post release of ArGIS10.1 and LAS tool kit, We have developed best practice scenarios to bring engineering grade mapping to clients via CAD/GIS platforms, furthermore we have utilized publishing and sharing functionalities of ArcGISOnLine solutions to deliver engineering quality mapping to construction/operation staff on remote sites.
As part of this effort we have utilized CityEngine3D Web viewer to provide cadastral fabric as background base map to visualize stationary/Mobile terrestrial LIDAR Data sets.
URS have been promoting Implementation of ArcGISOnLine and expanded Web Map Viewing functionalities to serve LIDAR datasets and GIS TIN/Terrain models to project planning and design staffs as part of integrated project Delivery process to insure QA/QC and value engineering as part of project's data life cycle.
