AECOM launches sewer system inspection software
(UC) — AECOM has expanded its Digital AECOM offering with the launch of PipeInsights, a digital platform that helps clients deliver superior rehabilitation and maintenance outcomes for sewer systems.
The PipeInsights platform augments conventional CCTV inspections using advanced machine learning algorithms to provide automated defect detection and recommend optimal maintenance decisions.
“With PipeInsights, our clients can accelerate inspections and dedicate more time to their core mission: solving today’s critical water infrastructure challenges,” Beverley Stinson, CEO of AECOM, said. “We’ve applied our digital expertise and decades of experience to mitigate the inefficiencies typically associated with inspections, using artificial intelligence to rapidly review CCTV footage and identify defects.”
By seamlessly integrating footage and results into a simple geographic information system (GIS) interface, the PipeInsights platform enables users to manage multiple sewer programs simultaneously while enhancing the understanding of overall sewer system health. To date, PipeInsights has been used on real-world inspections and captured images of hundreds of thousands of defects as it continues to learn. The platform enables secure access to inspections from any mobile device, allowing users to visualize and share the health of their systems from the office or the field.
“PipeInsights’ accessibility and capability make it a premier solution. Users can evaluate inspection results, diagnose problems, and anticipate future needs through an intuitive platform,” Todd Battley, AECOM’s chief strategy officer, said. “This commitment to simplifying challenges with technological agility defines Digital AECOM’s record of client success.”
