Services
The Technology Deployment program provides various services to our staff in all three division offices. These services provide tools for improving best practices for road planning, design, and construction.
Design Resources
The Aesthetic Photo Treatment Album (APTA) was initially an interactive DVD demonstrating the different treatment options available for various projects to make them look more appealing. The album has since been updated and is now an interactive website.
Library Resource
The FLH library database is web-hosted by Central Federal Lands Highway Division and is a work-in-progress. The goal is to incorporate all the resource literature, multi-media videos, project pictures, and reports into a searchable database, and allow employees access to the various documents for referencing purposes.
