Municipal infrastructure teams are expected to plan, maintain, and report on assets using information that is often years out of date. Twinworks helps you build and maintain current asset intelligence — at a fraction of the cost of traditional surveys.
Municipal teams face a common set of challenges when managing infrastructure knowledge.
Asset records reflect conditions from the last survey cycle — often 3–7 years ago. New assets are missing; removed ones are still counted.
Full network condition surveys are costly, slow, and require significant procurement lead time. Budgets constrain how often they happen.
When council or auditors ask difficult questions about asset condition or replacement timelines, the answers rely on assumptions rather than evidence.
Infrastructure knowledge lives with external contractors rather than in-house. Each survey cycle restarts the process.
Asset records are spread across GIS, spreadsheets, paper files, and departmental systems — making a unified picture difficult to maintain.
By the time a survey is planned, budgeted, procured, and delivered, conditions have changed again. The data is out of date before it's used.
Twinworks replaces expensive, infrequent surveys with a repeatable, scalable collection and extraction workflow. Your team drives the network; our platform extracts structured asset intelligence automatically.
Affordable, repeatable collection
Drive your road network with a Mosaic camera mounted on a municipal vehicle. Collect the entire network in days, not months.
Automated asset extraction
AI models identify signs, poles, hydrants, catch basins, pavement markings, trees, and more — with GPS coordinates attached.
GIS-ready outputs
Extracted data feeds directly into your existing GIS and asset management platform. No new systems of record required.
Defensible condition data
Every asset record is traceable to a dated field observation. Reports are backed by evidence, not estimates.
Confidence in reporting
Answer council and auditor questions with current, traceable data.
Reduced consultant dependency
Build an in-house data collection capability. Retain the knowledge.
More frequent inventory updates
Annual network passes replace costly 3–5 year survey cycles.
Better planning inputs
Infrastructure decisions are informed by current condition data, not guesswork.
Data ownership and sovereignty
The data stays with the municipality — on-premise deployment available.
Vehicle-mounted 360° cameras can collect imagery across an entire municipality in a matter of days, at a fraction of the cost of manual field surveys. AI models then extract asset locations and attributes automatically, replacing much of the manual classification work. This makes annual or biennial full-network updates economically practical for most municipalities.
Infrastructure intelligence provides current, structured asset data that feeds directly into reporting workflows. When council, auditors, or regulators ask about asset condition or inventory completeness, the underlying data is current and traceable to field observations — making reports more defensible and reducing reliance on assumptions or outdated records.
Common municipal assets detected include traffic signs, streetlights, utility poles, fire hydrants, catch basins and storm drains, sidewalks and curbs, pavement markings, trees and street furniture, guardrails, and road surface conditions including cracking and deterioration. Custom models can be trained for any asset type specific to your municipality.
Yes. Extracted asset data can be exported in formats compatible with ArcGIS, QGIS, and most municipal GIS platforms. Twinworks is designed to enhance existing systems, not replace them. The municipality retains full ownership of all data and outputs.
