With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily lives, from self-driven vehicles to digital marketing, it is high time for the civil engineering and construction industry to embrace the new technologies.
Agentic AI significantly enhances geotechnical engineering by automating the analysis and integration of soil data throughout the project lifecycle. During the Design Development phase, Geotechnical Integration Agents can read soil bore logs, apply foundation and pavement design rules, and automatically adjust subgrade and foundation specifications based on the data. This ensures that geotechnical parameters are accurately integrated into the design, improving the overall quality and compliance of civil engineering projects.
On broader civil engineering and construction projects, AI can automate data workflows, optimize schedules and budgets, enhance quality by reducing manual errors, elevate design standards, compliance, and delivery across roadways, buildings, and infrastructure projects.
