Case Study: Kimley-Horn Wins Aspen Airport Contract with 4M Analytics

How Kimley-Horn Used 4M to Win Aspen Airport Contract

Kimley-Horn, a premier engineering and design consulting firm, faced significant challenges in its pursuit of the Aspen Airport contract. The traditional process for utility research was slow and inefficient, often resulting in less than a 50% response rate from data requests and a month-long wait for incomplete information. This was exacerbated by the airport's operational constraints and a project scope that expanded during the bidding process. To overcome these hurdles and provide an exceptional client experience, Kimley-Horn turned to 4M Analytics and its Utility AI Mapping Platform.

By implementing 4M's solution, Kimley-Horn gained instant access to reliable utility data, which allowed them to bid accurately without initial field visits. The platform's On-Surface Utility Object Detection enabled the team to identify necessary work and adjust proposals in real-time as the project scope changed. This capability was instrumental in helping them win the contract. The results included faster timelines, a significant reduction in project risks, and higher client satisfaction. 4M provided a clear competitive edge, propelling Kimley-Horn to the top of the client's shortlist and ultimately securing the project win.
