Brightline Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach Stations

WGI was selected by All Aboard Florida to provide land surveying and utility designation services for 2 Brightline train stations in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida. Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) is building an independently owned intercity passenger rail service to be utilized by millions of Floridians and tourists. Phase I will connect Miami to Orlando with stops in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

In order to meet a very difficult schedule, and keep field personnel safe, WGI utilized the latest technology, including GPS to set high accuracy control points throughout the proposed area and laser scanning to “scan” improvements within the railroad right-of-way. These technologies assisted in keeping survey personnel away from moving trains and eliminated the need for railroad flaggers.
