Arcadis, VODA.ai partner to locate, replace underground lead pipes using artificial intelligence
(UI) – VODA.ai was selected by Arcadis U.S. as their preferred artificial intelligence software partner to find lead pipes. This collaboration supports utilities in complying with the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCRR) by locating, inventorying, and planning the replacement of hazardous lead water service lines.
VODA.ai Lead Finder streamlines the process of identifying public and private service lines likely containing lead, reducing time and costs. Many states now accept AI predictions for meeting the EPA inventory requirement due in 2024. The platform presents its findings through graphics and tables, allowing utilities to prioritize projects and maintain community health while minimizing costs.
“The Arcadis-VODA.ai partnership combines world-class solutions with VODA.ai’s powerful artificial intelligence to help utilities determine which service lines are likely to be made of lead and which aren’t. This saves our customers time, effort, and money,” said Greg Osthues, Arcadis’ EVP. “We are delighted to combine our world-class services with an equally impressive technology from VODA.ai.”
“Our vision is improving the lives of a billion people, and Arcadis is helping us get closer to that vision. We are happy to work with Arcadians and help utilities address their infrastructure challenges,” said George Demosthenous, CEO at VODA.ai.
