Designing Innovative and Efficient Infrastructure

Across the country, communities are working hard to address aging and expanding infrastructure with limited resources. To help municipalities meet this challenge, Benesch is working to uncover approaches and tools that can efficiently and innovatively create safer, more resilient, better connected communities for the future.

Exploring Innovative AI Solutions

A key component of Benesch’s approach is the integration of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), into our planning, design, construction and inspection work. By pairing drone imagery with AI programs, Benesch can automate the detection of pavement cracks, bridge deck anomalies and other structural issues. This technology accelerates the inspection process, increases accuracy and allows for predictive maintenance that can help extend the service life of infrastructure.

While we understand that AI won’t solve every problem—and certainly can’t replace the human mind—we believe that leveraging these tools carefully will enable us and our clients to quickly and accurately make data-backed decisions that have meaningful impacts on our communities.
