I love weird, niche AI use cases like this - especially in critical infrastructure. Sewage systems are about the least 'sexy' AI use case imaginable, but one of many infrastructural 'big rocks' in our economy that we simply have to get right. I'm no sewer expert (and do not plan to be) but if we can use tech like this to analyze sewers and catch defects early, no doubt that can reduce leaks and prevent water contamination. While chatbots have taken a lot of the oxygen from the room, its important to note that AI has the potential to do real good for our most basic, critical infrastructure. While we need to be wary of threats, we must simultaneously ensure our rules and regulations enable the positives. https://lnkd.in/ezA2bEzX

I recently came across a fascinating article discussing the role of AI in the water industry. The article, titled "How the Water Industry Is Transforming Submersible Pump Maintenance With AI," highlights how leveraging condition monitoring technology could revolutionize maintenance in the water industry. Water and wastewater companies worldwide face significant challenges, including aging assets, increasing regulations and sustainability requirements, and the impact of climate change. These factors put a lot of pressure on existing infrastructure and maintenance teams. As a result, many organizations are investing in new technologies and approaches to improve and optimize their operations. The article discusses how these new technologies, like AI, are helping transform the performance, efficiency, and reliability of pumps and other industrial assets. If you're interested in learning more about the potential of AI in the water industry, I highly recommend checking out the article: https://lnkd.in/drtH5qPv. #IndustrialAI #MaintenanceTech #WaterInnovation #SustainableInfrastructure #ClimateResilience #AIforIndustry

Don't be intimidated by AI—think of it as a powerful enhancement to methods municipalities have trusted for decades! AI-driven leak detection is simply automating the familiar process of identifying leaks through flow and pressure anomalies. Traditionally, consulting engineers have dedicated hours to analyzing, reporting, and issuing work orders based on these indicators. With AI, we’re streamlining this work—quickly recognizing patterns, flagging anomalies, and even predicting potential issues before they escalate. The real innovation? Time savings and efficiency. With automated analysis, water utilities can act faster, cut down on labor-intensive tasks, and focus more on high-impact work that keeps water networks resilient. Embrace AI—it’s just a smarter, faster way to do what we know works! #waterinfrastructure #digitaltwins #assetmanagement #waterengineering #hydraulicmodeling #waterresourcemanagement #infrastructureplanning #digitalwatersolutions #engineeringconsulting #civilengineering www.hydralinksolutions.com

Is your industry struggling with aging infrastructure? ⚠️ The private sector in the United States has invested heavily in revolutionizing the way that critical maintenance of key infrastructure is planned and carried out in recent years. However, the public sector has been very slow to adopt new technologies and so the maintenance of key assets such as roads, bridges and electrical towers, has yet to be streamlined through digitalisation in many cases. Our AI powered work execution platform offers innovative solutions that leverage the power of AI to streamline maintenance, prioritize resources, and keep our communities safe. 🚀 Read the full post and see how FYLD can bridge the gap! https://lnkd.in/e5HxbmUJ #infrastructure #AI #FYLD #BuildSmarter #SafetyFirst

I'm usually posting about the amazing things we're doing in Manufacturing, but AI is versatile. In today's blog we discuss how AI can be a critical component in reducing the costs/efforts in maintaining and upgrading critical infrastructure such as our wastewater pipeline systems. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
At this critical moment, AI's potential to revolutionize pipe inspection and maintenance is more significant than ever. A recent study from Harvard Business School and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) provides compelling evidence that generative AI (GenAI) dramatically enhances productivity across the board, a finding that aligns perfectly with what we are seeing across our customer base in the pipe inspection industry. 💧🤖 #pipeinspection #wastewaterAI #clearobject #AIinspection #watertechnology #clearvision #visionAI #wastewaterinspection

Resilience is a Multi-Pronged Challenge in N.Y.-N.J. Region "New Jersey’s heightened climate change risk makes the push for infrastructure resilience critical in a state with close to 130 miles of mostly developed coastline, the third fastest-rising temperatures among U.S. states and a FEMA-recorded flood loss total that is second only to Texas. With such stats, Shawn LaTourette, commissioner of its Dept. of Environmental Protection, told the ENR NY-NJ Infrastructure Forum Sept. 16 that “climate mitigation touches every sector of our industry and society.”" "Bridge designers and managers face new challenges in planning for known risks but also for those that are less predictable but still within the realm of “known unknowns,” said Rizwan Baig, Port Authority of NY and NJ chief engineer. He said engineers have long designed for potential risk, but knowing how to address unexpected or still unknown impacts is a more uncertain and demanding task." #NewYork #NewJersey #Infrastructure #Engineering #Construction #structuralengineering #Resilience #DEP

The resilience of daily infrastructure assets hinges on organized data for monitoring and maintenance. Accessible critical information is key for identifying distressed assets promptly. Leveraging data organization, models, and AI aids in predicting and prioritizing maintenance needs. Immediate understanding of the weather conditions during construction, sourced materials, placement methods, and timing is vital for effective asset management. #Infrastructure #DataOrganization #AI
