ROANOKE, VIRGINIA (May 4, 2023) — gNext today announced it has been chosen by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) as a solution partner for their digital inspections. gNext is excited to partner with ALDOT to provide our platform to support them in managing and maintaining the state’s construction and infrastructure assets. With gNext, they will be able to manage their construction projects and inspections, monitor progress, and visualize change-over-time through 3D and 2D analysis.
“We could not be happier to work with the Alabama Department of Transportation to meet their digital inspection needs. With the scale of drone missions ALDOT flies on a regular basis, we’re eager to help them save time while providing superior digital quality with gNext’s automatic processing capability.
We have established a mutually beneficial partnership with ALDOT and look forward to the opportunity to serving them in their future digital inspections,” said Russ Ellis, President at gNext.
Since gNext is drone and sensor agnostic, ALDOT will get the same high-quality results each time they upload their data, no matter which equipment they use.
