MIT-Dowel-Scan Pilot Implementation

The purpose of this pilot project is to evaluate and implement the use of the MIT-DOWEL-SCAN system to accurately assess dowel bar alignment in Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) concrete pavement projects. The selected researcher will utilize the Improve I-70 Design-Build expansion project as a testbed to develop a proof of concept and establish project requirements. The I-70 Design-Build teams will provide reasonable assistance with testing activities. The researcher must coordinate closely with the contractor’s schedule to ensure timely and non-disruptive testing. Researchers must follow all MoDOT safety procedures and well as any specific safety procedures or requirements of the responsible construction contractor.
