How artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can improve and enhance existing infrastructure was discussed by built environment professionals and data scientists during an ICE workshop over the summer.
The event sought to facilitate conversations between civil engineers and data scientists, generating new ideas about how better data and the application of AI can improve the operation of existing infrastructure and enable predictive aintenance.
The event was held in partnership with The Alan Turing Institute and techUK. Ideas that came out of the group workshop included proposed systems to predict embankment collapses, reduce tunnel road closures at Heathrow and iterative validation of existing underground infrastructure data.
Andrew Wyllie CBE, ICE Senior Vice President and Costain Chief Executive, said: “This event provided an important opportunity for the built environment and digital sectors to come together to look at ways existing infrastructure systems can seize the opportunities from changing technologies and practices.
