Down and Dirty With Digital: How AI Enhances Water Infrastructure Fieldwork

Fieldwork is at the heart of infrastructure expansion and rehabilitation, as utilities, engineers, and contractors collaborate to build the systems and structures that treat and move water. The opportunity is great, but so are the challenges. Which is why new, digitally-enhanced tools are needed — to meet modern demands related to labor shortages, regulatory pressures, environmental threats, worker safety, and ever-tighter budgets.

Such technologies are also used to support “boots on the ground” labor, as planning, design, monitoring, and management decision-making are all enhanced by digital technologies.
