Geo-Metrology was contracted for the Ulink I-5 undercrossing project: U215. The U215 Contract is part of a larger plan that will eventually link the University of Washington to SeaTac airport, through downtown Seattle.
U215 involves tunneling under inter-state I-5, a major artery in Seattle. I-5 was constructed in the early 1960´s and retaining structures supporting road cuts through the Seattle hills are critical to public safety.
Enhanced systems were proposed and installed by Geo-Metrology. In turn, Geo-Metrology had the duel honor of being the first to install an automated pulsed laser scan for near real time structural monitoring in the world, and the first WiSe wireless sensor network in North America.
