NCHRP Project 10-77 125 CHAPTER 11: FUTURE OF AMG IN INFRASTRUCUTRE CONSTRUCTION INTRODUCTION Rapid technological developments are propelling AMG towards new capabilities that are radically expanding and shifting the roles and identities of traditional surveyors, design engineers, agencies, contractors, and equipment providers. New paradigms are emerging for conceptualizing sites, designing new and different projects, constructing projects, and ultimately using and maintaining them. Read the entire page →
From page 126... ... NCHRP Project 10-77 126 Figure 11-2 shows color plans. Although it may not seem like a significant departure from black and white plans, the concept of color is to add an additional dimension to the information conveyed in plan sheets. Read the entire page →
From page 127... ... NCHRP Project 10-77 127 Figure 11-3 shows yet another application of color sheets with a photo and line drawings to highlight a construction feature. Color in this case makes it easier to see the orange line, soil types, and vegetation. Read the entire page →
