Asset types

You can manage nearly every asset type on our Infrastructure Lifecycle Hub. Our technology is especially useful for bridges, tunnels, dams, roads, towers, among other asset types. The AI-assisted damage detection is specialized only for concrete structures.

  • Asset (generic)

  • Concrete asset (generic concrete asset, suitable for AI-assisted damage detection)

  • Bridge

  • Bridge - RVS

  • Bridge - DIN1076

  • Railway tunnel

  • Road tunnel

  • Roadway
