Problem
Traditional infrastructure inspections are often manual, time-consuming, and can expose personnel to safety risks, while also providing limited data points and potentially subjective assessments. This makes it difficult to accurately assess structural integrity, track deterioration over time, and plan effective maintenance.
Solution
Niricson offers AUTOSPEX™, an AI-powered platform that automates defect detection, quantification, and change tracking for infrastructure condition surveys. Paired with DRONIC™, a patented multi-layered data collection and fusion architecture that includes a drone-equipped concrete sounding hammer, the platform enables asset owners to remotely monitor and assess the structural integrity of critical infrastructure such as dams, bridges, and airfields. AUTOSPEX™ uses AI and data fusion techniques to automatically map and quantify damage, such as cracks, spalling, and alkali-aggregate reaction, on concrete structures. By comparing survey data over time, asset owners can establish a digital baseline, validate repairs, and make proactive, data-driven decisions to ensure the long-term integrity of their infrastructure. The platform also creates high-resolution 3D models using advanced photogrammetry, offering a clear and detailed view of asset conditions.
Target Audience
The primary customers are asset owners and engineers responsible for the safety and maintenance of critical infrastructure, including dams, bridges, and airfields.
