NEWEA Annual Conference & Exhibit

January 26-29, 2025 – Boston, MA


Join us for an enlightening session on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in sewer maintenance. This session will explore how AI-powered tools enhance efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness in sewer pipe inspections. Key topics include: 

  • Automated Defect Detection: Learn how AI can identify and classify sewer pipeline defects from CCTV footage with greater accuracy and consistency than manual inspections. 
  • Data Analysis and Interpretation: Discover how AI can quickly analyze large volumes of inspection data, extracting meaningful insights and trends for better maintenance and repair strategies. 
  • Efficiency and Speed: Understand how AI-driven inspections significantly reduce the time needed to assess sewer conditions, enabling faster decision-making and response times. 
  • Predictive Maintenance: Explore AI’s capability to predict potential failures or maintenance needs by analyzing historical data, allowing for proactive maintenance strategies. 
  • Geospatial Integration: See how AI combined with GIS technology creates a digital twin of sewer systems, helping utility owners visualize and manage their assets more effectively. 
  • System Integration: Learn about the seamless integration of AI tools with existing sewer inspection equipment and software, enhancing current systems without the need for complete overhauls. 

This session will provide valuable insights into how AI can revolutionize sewer maintenance, helping utility providers make data-driven decisions to prioritize rehabilitation and coordinate capital improvement projects efficiently. 

WEF Utility Management Conference

February 11-14, 2025 – Dallas, TX


In the evolving landscape of utility management, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly emerging as a transformative tool that enhances the efficiency and accuracy of sewer pipe inspections. Utility owners traditionally spend significant time and resources reviewing CCTV footage for sewer inspections. AI, through advanced machine learning algorithms, can replicate the workflow and thought process of contractors, thereby streamlining the process of coding and performing QA/QC of sewer inspections.

Efficiency and Accuracy: AI technology drastically reduces the time required to obtain and review inspection data. By eliminating human bias, AI increases the accuracy of defect identification and coding. This technological advancement allows contractors to inspect more footage in less time, reducing the overall cost per foot for utility owners.

How It Works: AI systems equipped with computer vision and machine learning components get smarter with each data processing cycle. The computer vision acts as the “eyes,” examining CCTV footage to identify features like taps, cracks, and obstructions. The machine learning component, serving as the “brain,” enhances its understanding of these defects over time. Upon detecting a defect, the AI system assigns the appropriate code, ensuring consistency and precision.

Geospatial Integration: The integration of AI with geographic information systems (GIS) creates a digital twin of the sewer collection system. This digital twin allows utility owners to visualize the condition of sewer assets and geographically pinpoint each defect and construction feature. Such a dynamic database replaces static PDF reports, offering a more effective tool for system maintenance. Utility providers can quickly evaluate their infrastructure’s condition, making data-driven, transparent, and repeatable decisions.

Predictive Maintenance and Integration: AI’s capability extends beyond immediate defect identification to predictive maintenance. By analyzing historical data and identifying patterns, AI can predict potential failures, enabling proactive rather than reactive maintenance strategies. Additionally, AI tools can seamlessly integrate with existing sewer inspection equipment and software, enhancing current systems without necessitating complete overhauls.

Join the Discussion: Join us for a session where we delve into the transformative benefits of AI in sewer maintenance. Learn how AI can serve as a low-cost, efficient means to evaluate systems, prioritize rehabilitation, and coordinate capital improvement projects. Discover how AI-driven insights can revolutionize asset management and decision-making processes for utility providers.

This session will cover:

  • Automated defect detection and classification
  • Rapid data analysis and interpretation for meaningful insights
  • Enhanced efficiency and speed in sewer inspections
  • Predictive maintenance capabilities for proactive management
  • Integration with existing sewer inspection technologies

Embark on a journey to understand how AI can revolutionize sewer maintenance, driving efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings for utility providers.
