BREC Scotlandville Parkway Bridges
Surveying
East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana
The Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge (BREC) engaged Waggoner to provide comprehensive engineering services for the three-mile Scotlandville Parkway along I-110 in North Baton Rouge that includes multiple recreational facilities. Services include topographic survey, construction drawings, bidding assistance, construction administration, and geotechnical services for the demolition, construction, and installation of three small vehicle and pedestrian replacement bridges at the parkway: YMCA Small Vehicle & Pedestrian Bridge, Scotlandville Parkway at Harding Pedestrian Bridge, and Disc Golf Course Pedestrian Bridge. The new bridges will restore greenway trail access at two locations and introduce new connectivity to the Disc Golf Course. The topographic survey involved establishing horizontal and vertical control at the three new bridge sites and two existing bridge sites slated for demolition, with all five sites tied together for consistency.

Scotlandville Parkway
Made up of 134 acres of park land, the parkway route is three miles long
Field Surveying
Field surveying captured detailed topography of ground features, channels, bayous, bridge structures, utilities, trails, and pathways. Using a combination of RTK GPS, terrestrial scanning, and conventional total station methods, the team generated a comprehensive topographic map and a 3D digital terrain model in Civil3D, providing a robust foundation for design and construction.
