Case Study: WSP improves bridge inspection efficiency with Mind Foundry

Enhancing bridge inspection efficiency with WSP

WSP, a global engineering firm specializing in infrastructure, faced the challenge of reducing the high costs and time associated with manually inspecting ageing bridges. They sought a partner to create a digital solution for understanding asset conditions, detecting defects, and incorporating new data types like 360° imagery. They partnered with vendor Mind Foundry to pilot a new AI-driven inspection and reporting solution.

Mind Foundry's solution provided a digital, app-based platform that integrated 360° cameras and AI to quantify defects and generate reports. This streamlined process replaced manual methods, leading to substantial time and cost savings for WSP, including a 48% cost savings across the asset lifecycle, a 30% reduction in planning time, and a 50% reduction in reporting and inspection times. The solution also improved data quality and enabled better predictive maintenance planning.
