Streamlining Stormwater Management: Geospatial Transformation for the METRO Gold Line BRT Project

The METRO Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a transformative public transportation initiative connecting communities and major destinations along the I-94 corridor. Amid the bustling construction activities, the project faced a significant challenge: ensuring compliance with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and minimizing pollutants in local waterways.

Nancy Lewis, Ames Construction’s geospatial manager, led the adoption of a cutting-edge digital solution to manage stormwater inspections and compliance. This approach ensures that stormwater control measures are effective, compliance is maintained, and communication among stakeholders is transparent and efficient.
