Infrastructure

According to a report from the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), almost 8.86% of the 612,000 total bridges in the USA are structurally deficient and rapidly approaching their design service life limit. The conditions in Canada are even worse; out of about 75,000 highway bridges, almost one-fourth have structural or functional deficiencies, and about 40% of the bridges are under operation more than the designed life because of the lack of resources. Therefore, an inspection of such bridges requires a crew of professionals, heavy machinery with lifts, people rappelling from dangerous heights, resulting in each inspection taking a few days. Generally speaking, infrastructure inspection, which can include bridges, pipelines, electrical grids and other facilities, is crucial for structure usage and safety, yet it is expensive, time-consuming and dangerous.
In recent years, with the advances in UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicles) technologies, the new possibilities of using UAVs for civil infrastructure inspections are opened. UAVs are becoming an integral part of infrastructure inspection practice. Today’s professional drones are agile, cost-effective and can perform tasks that have proven to be too dangerous for humans to do. It is more efficient and safer to inspect tall structures like electric towers (typically between 15 to 55 meters tall) and wind turbines (usually 113 meters tall) with UAVs than sending workers up the tall and potentially unstable structures.
Cabook Solutionology Inc. develops intelligent drones with extended autonomous functionality to recognize abnormalities by integrating advanced computer vision and machine learning techniques. We are a group of mechanical, aerospace and structural engineers with a strong background in identifying mechanical and structural failures.
Cabook Solutionology Inc. is proud to claim that its unique solutions will improve infrastructures inspection job safety. Our proposed solutions save costs during construction and inspection times and decrease downtime and liability insurance costs. Furthermore, we are trying to move forward and decrease drones flight time and cost; therefore, companies will be able to inspect their structure more regularly, which translates into early detection of potential problems.
In Cabook, we archive the digital footprint of your asset’s life history and come along with you to track the asset’s health status periodically.
