Success Stories

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)

Project

The Michigan Department of Transportation led the transformative I-75 Modernization Project using an innovative Design-Build-Finance-Maintain (DBFM) contracting model. With a total program budget of $1.4 billion, the initiative represented one of Michigan’s most significant transportation investments. It focused on Segment 3, a critical 5.5-mile corridor extending from 13 Mile Road to 8 Mile Road through Madison Heights, Royal Oak, and Hazel Park in Oakland County.

The project was designed to improve mobility, safety, and long-term infrastructure performance through major enhancements, including:

  • Addition of a High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and a general-purpose lane extending to 12 Mile Road
  • Reconstruction of existing freeway lanes
  • Replacement of 28 structures, including six pedestrian bridges
  • Implementation of advanced drainage systems, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and community-focused aesthetic improvements

The Challenge

Managing a $1.4 billion multi-phase infrastructure program presented a significant operational challenge for MDOT. The agency needed to coordinate activities across multiple stakeholders and contractors while maintaining strict quality requirements and keeping teams aligned throughout the project lifecycle.

Key challenges included:

  • Coordinating construction activities across multiple stakeholders and contractors
  • Ensuring rigorous compliance with inspection and materials testing requirements
  • Maintaining real-time visibility and effective communication across distributed teams
  • Managing the complexity of collecting, analyzing, and reporting large volumes of project data for compliance and decision-making

Solution

To address these challenges, ATSER® deployed its industry-leading Manage-IT™ “Program Management System” and Assure-IT™ “Quality Assurance System”. The integrated solutions delivered a centralized, real-time platform that streamlined project oversight and quality management across the program.

Key capabilities included:

Seamless communication: An electronic system for managing construction, inspection, and testing requests improved coordination between contractors and inspectors.

Data-driven insights: Real-time materials testing data and analytics supported proactive decision-making and strengthened compliance monitoring.

Improved collaboration: Web-based access enabled project teams to review and share information instantly, increasing visibility and transparency across stakeholders.

Customized implementation: Configured specifically for MDOT’s operational requirements, the solution introduced governance standards, process consistency, and a reliable framework to support each phase of the project.

Through the implementation of ATSER’s integrated systems, MDOT gained a centralized environment capable of managing the complexity of a large-scale DBFM infrastructure program while maintaining high standards of quality and operational efficiency.

 

Results

ATSER’s Manage-IT™ and Assure-IT™ enabled MDOT to strengthen quality oversight, streamline communication, and improve transparency across its multi-contractor program.

Real-time field data, analytics, and role-based access improved decision-making and accountability, while digital workflows reduced administrative effort and minimized the risk of data loss. The systems also standardized governance across the DBFM model and unified project and quality performance management processes, resulting in greater operational efficiency, stronger collaboration, and a repeatable framework for delivering large-scale infrastructure programs.
