Case Study: Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council achieves annual road condition survey efficiency with RoadMetrics AI

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council becomes the first Welsh local authority to perform an annual condition survey with RoadMetrics AI

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, a local authority in South Wales, needed to conduct an annual condition survey of its 518 km road network. The council sought a solution that was more efficient and cost-effective than traditional methods. They chose RoadMetrics AI to perform an automated road condition assessment and asset mapping using their smartphone-based AI technology.

RoadMetrics AI conducted the survey in just two weeks using a smartphone-based system. The solution provided a detailed road condition rating, identified over 35,000 defects, and mapped nearly 20,000 assets. The data was delivered in multiple formats for easy integration, enabling the council to make informed, proactive maintenance decisions. This innovative approach by RoadMetrics provided significant time and cost savings compared to traditional surveys.
