AI Is Here To Help (Not Replace!) 
Sewer Workers

In an era where the term "AI" often stirs thoughts of robots taking away human jobs, it's crucial to highlight use cases where artificial intelligence is supporting and enhancing peoples' efforts, rather than replacing them. One such area is in sewer inspection and management. Here, AI technologies such as those implemented at SewerAI, are transforming the role of sewer workers, helping them work faster, smarter, and more safely. Keep reading to learn how AI can become a bionic extension of your existing skills for superhuman speed and accuracy.

You, But 100% Faster: AI Doubles Daily Field Production

The first and perhaps most significant way SewerAI supports sewer workers is by doubling the amount of pipe that can be inspected in a day. In the business of keeping things flowing, your workflow shouldn’t be backed up by manual data entry.

Enter SewerAI, which is 100% faster than manual inspection – enabling workers to cover over 3,000 linear feet per day:

Computer Vision To Code & Classify: 6x Faster

Traditionally, sewer inspections have been labor-intensive, requiring operators to manually review hours of video footage to identify issues. This process is not only time-consuming but lacks consistent results, often resulting in differing interpretations and over or underestimation of defects. SewerAI increases in-office assessment and annotations speed 6x over manual methods.

What AutoCode™ Can Do for You:

Frame 5411AutoCode acts as a first pass through the footage, flagging potential issues and categorizing them based on severity. Operators can then focus on these highlighted areas, ensuring that your expertise is used where it matters most. 

Real operators have experienced real results with AI on their side:

Another key advantage of integrating AI into sewer inspection is the rich, data-driven insights it provides. SewerAI's technology doesn’t just identify problems; it also offers predictive analytics that can forecast potential future issues based on current data. This aspect of AI equips workers with a more profound understanding of the sewer systems you manage, enabling proactive maintenance rather than reactive repairs.

AI Reports for Duty: Streamlined Reporting and Documentation

Documentation is a vital but cumbersome part of maintenance work, often involving extensive paperwork that can be prone to errors and omissions. SewerAI simplifies this aspect of the job through automated reporting tools that integrate seamlessly with video inspection data. As the AI identifies and classifies issues, it simultaneously generates detailed reports that can be reviewed and finalized by operators.Frame 5413This capability not only speeds up the reporting process, but also ensures that the documentation is accurate and comprehensive. With less time required for paperwork, sewer workers can dedicate more time to critical on-site activities and gain more field experience.

 

Become Super Human with AI On Your Side
