AI for Civil Engineering

Project Overview

Pavement and infrastructure teams lose hours to the manual work between collecting data and making a decision, often in tools that are decades old. We rebuild those legacy tools and build new ones beside them, so the same fieldwork turns into a report, a dashboard, and a plan without the copy and paste in between. Every tool shows its work, so engineers can check the numbers before anyone relies on them.

Our Role

Here is a snapshot of a few of the systems we've built:

• Capital improvement planner: It takes standard pavement management exports and plans years of work within a budget, comparing ten ways to prioritize and modeling how roads wear over time. Then it groups funded projects into contracts and produces the full agency package: report, executive summary, Excel work plan, and GIS files.
• Toll highway dashboard: A secure dashboard for a major toll highway network, with network health at a glance, an interactive map, a searchable list of road sections, and capital planning views that compare cost to budget.
• Pavement marking platform: It checks how well road striping reflects headlights at night. Mobile data syncs to GPS survey video, results show as pass or fail on a map, and a restriping planner finds the worst stretches and estimates the cost.
• Legacy evaluation engine: We rebuilt a decades-old tool for runway and highway pavement analysis on a modern stack. We moved its models to Python and matched the old results run for run, so reviewers get the same math in a tool that's far easier to use.

Impact & Results

More than fifty of the platforms our team has built are in daily use, and two are legacy tools we rebuilt from scratch. On both rebuilds, we kept the math reviewers already trust and ran the old and new versions side by side until every result matched. The rebuilt tools also do more with the same survey, turning it into a report, a dashboard, and a plan instead of one static output. One of them was built for a public agency, which paid for it and now runs it for its staff behind secure sign-in.
