Infrastructure Assessor

A reusable, online, street-level assessment tool harnessing the power of Opensource data

Stantec’s Infrastructure Assessor is leveraging Google Street View to assess thousands of properties in record time—so far resulting in 250% time savings. Rather than the business-as-usual, on-foot data collection process, our team designed an innovative online tool to capture the state of properties or infrastructure assets and assess their risk level.

The tool leverages existing models of areas of interest to create an automated approach to identify properties or assets that are at risk. Using nationally-consistent, opensource road and property data sets, the tool creates a database of information for each property and reduces the number of manual inspections that you need to conduct. Users can also input vital, supporting information such as their confidence in the data collected based on the visibility of the property or asset.

The benefit? You get a consistent web-based portal showing exactly which assets are at risk. You can make informed decisions around risk management and priority, serve the most at-risk communities or assets first, and provide clearer information to stakeholders.

Infrastructure Assessor sets you up for quicker, more affordable flood-risk surveying.

The Infrastructure Assessor tool was used to assess 9,000 properties in three weeks using minimal resources.

When comparing our methodology and solution to previous manual methods, we noted a cost savings of approximately $50 per property assessed.

On a typical project, we were able to assess 70% of identified properties remotely, drastically reducing the number of field surveys.
