Case Study: BAM Infra Nederland improves road inspection efficiency and safety with Microsoft Corporation's Azure

Dutch company uses smart technology to make roads safer

BAM Infra Nederland, part of Royal BAM Group, needed a faster, more cost-effective way to inspect asphalt roads and spot damage before small defects became safety issues and expensive repairs. The company turned to Microsoft Corporation, using Microsoft Azure and Azure Machine Learning with OrangeNXT to replace time-consuming manual video reviews with smarter, data-driven road inspections.

Microsoft Corporation helped BAM Infra Nederland build an AI-powered solution that uses 360-degree camera footage, geospatial data, and trained algorithms to detect and classify pavement damage. The result was a major improvement in speed, accuracy, and efficiency: inspectors now review only the most relevant images, turning work that used to take days or weeks into hours, while enabling more frequent inspections, predictive maintenance, lower costs, and better road safety.
