Fering provides an automated platform that consolidates site photos, asset inventories, condition assessments, capital planning, and reporting into a single digital‑twin workflow, turning weeks of manual engineering work into days. The solution is designed for infrastructure engineers, helping water and wastewater teams in Ontario manage thousands of assets with a total replacement value exceeding $78 million. By streamlining seven core processes, Fering reduces effort and improves decision‑making for asset management and condition assessment.

Problem
Infrastructure owners and engineers spend weeks manually collecting site photos, cataloguing assets, and evaluating condition, which delays maintenance planning and increases the risk of missed defects.
Solution
Fering offers an automated platform that converts site photographs into navigable 3D digital twins, linking each visual element to an asset record. The system extracts asset inventories, assesses condition, and generates capital‑plan recommendations within a single continuous workflow, reducing the time required from weeks to days. Engineers can access up‑to‑date asset data, condition metrics, and reporting tools through a web interface, while field crews use the companion Fering Inspect app to capture data on‑site and instantly update the digital twin. The platform centralises all information, enabling consistent documentation, faster decision‑making, and easier collaboration across engineering teams.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal and private engineering teams responsible for water, wastewater, and other critical infrastructure asset management.
Features
- Automated photogrammetry pipeline that creates a 3D digital twin of facilities from standard site photos
- Integrated asset inventory generation that tags and categorizes equipment within the 3D model
- Condition assessment algorithms that assign health scores to assets based on visual data
- Capital planning module that aggregates condition scores to prioritize repair and replacement budgets
- Built‑in reporting suite that produces exportable asset registers, condition summaries, and financial forecasts
- Fering Inspect companion mobile app for real‑time data capture and on‑site navigation of the digital twin
