Closing the Gap in Road Inspections

Too much road, too few inspectors

Every road tells a story. Cracks, potholes, raveling, are all signals of wear and tear that need attention. But across municipalities, provinces, and contractors, one problem keeps growing: there’s simply too much road to inspect, and too few people to do it.

Traditional inspections mean sending teams into the field for long hours, walking or driving stretches of pavement to identify visible damage. It’s time-consuming, expensive, and prone to human error. As the workload grows, important details risk being missed, and small issues will escalate into costly repairs or safety hazards.

A smarter way to inspect

Inspech transforms this process by turning road video into a detailed, interactive digital twin. Using professional equipment by a specialised company, or using a simple GoPro mounted on a vehicle, footage is captured and uploaded. From there, Inspech’s AI-powered Assistant takes over.

• Automatic detection: Inspech identifies a range of distresses, such as cracks, potholes, and other surface-level issues.
• Classification & severity: Distresses are categorized according to industry standards (PCI, CROW, DWW), or even your own criteria.
• Inspector control: Experts can easily validate and quickly adjust results directly in the platform.

For all stakeholders, the entire network is available for review online, from behind their desk. It’s like having every road at your fingertips.

Smarter decisions, less effort

With Inspech, inspection teams can:

• Scale inspections across large road networks without extra staff.
• Spend less time in the field, reducing cost and risk.
• Base maintenance planning advice on clear, data-driven insights.

The result is not just efficiency: it’s peace of mind. Roads get the attention they need, and inspectors regain control of their workload.
