Firm to employ state-of-the-art technology to gather current conditions of all County-
maintained roadways

PITTSBURGH, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Baker International, a global leader in engineering, consulting and advisory services, today announced that the firm has been selected by Charleston County, South Carolina, to complete detailed pavement data collection for all county-maintained roadways. Utilizing Advanced Transportation Linear Inspection System (ATLIS) vehicles, Michael Baker will employ state-of-the-art technology, including 3D laser scanners, pavement profiling lasers, ultra-high-definition cameras, and high-accuracy navigation systems to gather current conditions of more than 1,900 miles of County-maintained roadways.

Charleston County Public Works maintains a Pavement Management System that collects, analyzes and sorts data for all roads in its network. The resulting overall condition index is used to identify streets most in need of repair and to develop multi-year paving and preservation plans. This initiative reflects the thorough evaluations conducted by the County to assess pavement distress and defects.

"We are proud to partner with Charleston County to support their commitment to maintaining safe and reliable roadways," said Nathan Kebede, National Lead for Pavement Services at Michael Baker International. "By leveraging cutting-edge technology, our team will deliver precise, data-driven insights that help the County make informed decisions, prioritize improvements, enhance the longevity of the local transportation system and ultimately, improve quality of life for residents."
