Utility Design AI
AI for underground utility layout and coordination.
Definition
Utility Design AI assists in designing and coordinating underground utility systems including water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecommunications. These systems can route utilities to avoid conflicts, coordinate with other infrastructure, and ensure proper separation distances. AI utility design reduces costly conflicts during construction.
In Depth
Utility design for building sites involves sizing, routing, and specifying the water supply, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, natural gas, electrical power, and telecommunications services. AI assists with pipe sizing (based on the building's demand calculations), routing optimization (minimizing trench length and avoiding conflicts), and connection coordination with the serving utility companies.
Examples
