Guides

Practical guides to AI tools for civil engineering, water and stormwater, surveying, permitting and reality capture.

What AI can and can't do for civil work today, which tools to look at and how to evaluate them.

AI utilities design and planning tools for leak detection, capital planning, sewer inspection, vegetation risk and underground utility mapping.

How laser scanning, drones, photogrammetry and 360° capture fit together, and where AI speeds up scan to BIM and progress tracking.

AI tools for leak detection, main break prediction, sewer CCTV coding, lead service lines and digital twins in water and wastewater utilities.

AI tools that help surveyors capture, classify point clouds, extract linework and stake out, plus the hardware they pair with.

AI tools for flood risk mapping, surface water forecasting, GIS feature extraction, storm sewer inspection and monitoring.

AI tools for building code search, automated plan review, permit applications and drone, robotic and sensor-based inspection.

AI and generative tools for site feasibility, grading and pipe network design, existing conditions and plan production.
