Managing transportation projects comes with unique challenges—complex infrastructure, strict regulatory requirements, and the need for coordination across multiple teams. Without an efficient system for handling critical documents like blueprints, permits, and maintenance records, organizations risk delays, compliance violations, and costly errors. 

Proper documentation isn’t just about organization—it’s essential for keeping operations running smoothly, ensuring safety, and meeting industry standards. More and more successful transportation businesses are using critical tools like Meridian to centralize, secure, and streamline their workflows.   

Why Meridian? 

Meridian provides a customizable and secure engineering document management solution (EDMS) that streamlines the entire lifecycle of engineering documents for various industries and sectors, including transportation. 

In our latest webinar, we discussed how Meridian benefits transportation businesses by helping them manage critical documentation efficiently and stay compliant with industry standards.  

How Does Meridian Solves Challenges? 

Here is an overview of Meridian’s key features and the solutions it provides.  

A Centralized Source of Truth 

Engineering documents are in a secure repository which eliminates scattered information. This way teams can quickly access the latest versions of drawings, manuals, and project files which reduces miscommunication and duplication of efforts. 

Automated Version Control 

Automated version tracking ensures that outdated files do not get used, ensuring that teams always work with the most up-to-date documents. Documents with errors means that projects get slowed down and safety could be compromised. 

Faster Approval Workflows 

Instead of relying on manual approval, document routing and approval can be automated, meaning that project participants can review and sign off on critical files efficiently 

Regulatory Compliance Made Easy 

Not meeting industry standards could results in hefty fines and legal issues. Meridian keeps audit trails, enforces retention policies, and ensures all compliance records are stored securely.  

Instant Access for Field Teams 

Maintenance teams require immediate access to as-built documentation. Meridian provides mobile-friendly access so your teams can retrieve documents easily and ensure repairs and inspections are on track.
