Amy is also a qualified Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) Operator, with several years’ experience in undertaking digital capture across a broad range of complex environments.
The Workshop
Amy’s workshop ‘Digital technology for inspections and monitoring’ will be taking place on Day 1 of the event from 13:40 – 14:40, showcasing the digital capture and asset management work Waldeck have been carrying out for Network Rail’s portfolio of bridges:
Network Rail manage a large portfolio of bridge structures across the network that require continued and varying levels of examination, assessment, maintenance and repair/renewal. Methods for recording and monitoring of structures condition are subjective which leads to inconsistencies in the reports received.
The desire is to move towards a more digital approach which enables a more context-based and holistic view of the asset and its surrounding environment; reliable/measurable/comparable and non-subjective data on assets; data driven workflows and deliverables to facilitate detailed analysis and reporting; and an enabler to facilitate future aspirations to use artificial intelligence for defect recognition.
During the workshop delegates will be encouraged to discuss current approaches, including their limitations and shortcomings, as well as consider future needs and potential technologies that could improve existing practices.
