Water Infrastructure Intelligence

Enhancing inspection precision, streamlining workflows, and reducing operational risk in critical water systems. Aerosophia combines drone footage, point cloud data, and AI to identify anomalies across dikes, pipelines, waterways, and reservoirs, triggering automated workflows for fast, targeted response and smarter asset management.

Dike Inspections

  • Structural defects detected automatically: cracks, erosion, subsidence, settlement, and revetment or slope damage
  • 3D profile and freeboard measurement, with multi temporal comparison to track deterioration over time
  • Findings mapped to a digital twin and prioritized in risk driven inspection workflows

Aerosophia uses drone imagery, LiDAR, and AI to detect cracks, erosion, subsidence, settlement, slope instability, and damage to revetment or stone pitching on dikes. Point cloud data enables precise measurement of dike profile, crest height, and freeboard, while multispectral imaging can surface seepage and saturation patterns that signal piping risk. Repeated flights let AI compare conditions over time, flagging growing cracks or progressing erosion before they become structural failures. Every finding is mapped onto a digital twin and prioritized in workflows, letting inspection teams focus on the highest risk zones first, improving safety and reducing manual effort.

High-Pressure Pipeline Monitoring

  • Leak and early warning detection via multispectral and RGB imaging
  • Corridor monitoring for excavation or construction activity
  • Geo referenced findings straight into maintenance workflows

Aerosophia uses multispectral and thermal drone imagery to detect active leaks and early signs like moisture or anomalies along high pressure pipelines, while also watching the surrounding corridor for excavation activity that could damage buried pipes. Whether preventative or reactive, findings are geo referenced and dispatched straight into maintenance workflows for fast response.

Embankment & Shoreline Inspections

  • Boat mounted and aerial detection of structural wear: missing planks, cracks, and undermining at the waterline
  • Shoreline and quay wall integrity tracked over time via multi temporal comparison
  • Findings logged directly into maintenance workflows

Aerosophia inspects embankments, quay walls, and shorelines using boat mounted cameras alongside aerial drone imagery. AI identifies missing planks, structural shifts, undermining at the waterline, and unusual wear, comparing conditions across repeated passes to catch degradation early. Every finding logs directly into workflows for timely intervention.

Water Infrastructure Management

  • Damage and degradation detection across locks, dams, sluices, and bridges
  • Identifies unauthorized modifications and structural changes over time
  • Integrated with digital twin for centralized asset management

Aerosophia monitors locks, dams, sluices, and bridges using drone footage and AI, detecting surface degradation, cracks, and structural issues, as well as unauthorized modifications to protected infrastructure. Multi temporal comparison tracks how conditions change between inspections, with every finding mapped into a digital twin for centralized asset management.

Reservoir & Water Quality Inspection

  • Static and aerial camera monitoring of reservoirs and water bodies
  • Multispectral imaging flags algal bloom, sediment buildup, and contamination early
  • Automated alerts support water quality control without manual sampling

By combining drone flyovers, fixed cameras, and multispectral imagery, Aerosophia detects visual and spectral indicators of contamination, algal bloom, and sediment buildup in reservoirs and water bodies. AI flags anomalies automatically and can catch early signatures before they’re visible to the eye, supporting water quality control without manual sampling.

Invasive Plants

  • Detection and species classification of invasive aquatic plants
  • Multi temporal tracking of spread and regrowth across waterways
  • Geo referenced findings linked automatically to workflows

Aerosophia scans waterways for invasive aquatic plants using drones and AI, detecting and classifying species. Repeated flights track how infestations spread or regrow over time, helping prioritize where mitigation is most urgent. Findings are geo referenced and automatically linked to workflows for fast, targeted response.

Beaver & Badger Burrow Detection

  • Drone data flags surface signs: burrow entrances, tracks, and disturbed vegetation on orthomosaics
  • Multiband radar and tomography resolve subsurface voids and tunnels invisible from the surface
  • AI classification models void shape and depth, feeding structural risk into location based workflows

Aerosophia combines RGB drone imagery with multiband radar and tomographic processing to detect burrowing activity from beavers and badgers. RGB imagery picks up surface signs such as entrance holes, worn tracks, and disturbed soil on the ortho, while radar tomography sees beneath it, resolving tunnel depth and chamber structure that surface imagery alone cannot show. AI trained on confirmed burrow locations helps distinguish real voids from soil variation, boulders, or tree roots, feeding structural risk directly into location based workflows.
