Robotic Testing of Infrastructure

Our Building & Infrastructure division remains committed to delivering high-quality, innovative approaches to testing and inspection for clients. In 2019, we formed an exclusive partnership with a trusted firm to equip our inspectors with market-leading robotics and technology solutions. These solutions bring clients the benefits of increased speed, safety, accuracy, and cost savings, along with minimum disruption to the communities they serve.

Our inspectors are able to harness the power of robotics to help you assess the condition of bridges, roadways, and other infrastructure; better budget for maintenance and repairs; and prolong an asset’s life expectancy through early detection. Remote robotics also allow us to complete inspections and repairs without lane closures, without exposing workers to dangerous conditions, and with much higher efficiency … all at a reduced cost.

Coupled with the deep industry knowledge of our engineers and inspectors, the result is a portfolio of leading-edge robotics tools wielded by world-class T&I professionals.
