AECOM announced it is further expanding its Digital AECOM offering with the launch of PipeInsights, a digital platform that helps clients deliver superior rehabilitation and maintenance outcomes for their sewer systems. The PipeInsights platform augments conventional CCTV inspections using advanced machine learning algorithms to provide automated defect detection and recommend optimal maintenance decisions. By seamlessly integrating footage and results into a simple geographic information system (GIS) interface, the PipeInsights platform enables users to manage multiple sewer programs simultaneously while enhancing the understanding of overall sewer system health. To date, PipeInsights has been used on real-world inspections and captured images of hundreds of thousands of defects as it continues to learn.

The platform enables secure access to inspections from any mobile device, allowing users to visualize and share the health of their systems from the office or the field.
