AirWorks

AirWorks provides AI-enabled geospatial processing and field intelligence services that convert raw field data into engineering-ready mapping deliverables. The company ingests LiDAR, orthomosaics, satellite imagery and drone-captured data, applies machine learning models to extract features, and returns layered outputs in formats including CAD, GIS, pole loading software files and PDFs so they integrate with customers' existing toolchains.

Its models are described as trained on large volumes of data and able to extract more than 100 standardized feature layers, including roads, pavement markings, sidewalks, curbs, vegetation, water, railroads, traffic signals, street lights, transformers, surge arresters, power wires, guy wires, and utility pole attributes such as height, diameter and tilt. Custom layers can be requested. Supported use cases include automated walkouts, underground and aerial design planning, network maintenance, make-ready pre-engineering, pre-survey site assessment, right-of-way mapping and impervious surface mapping, as well as digital twin creation for new builds and maintenance programs.

The delivery workflow is described in five steps: a scoping consultation; field data support and sourcing, either using a customer's existing data or sourcing new data through the company's data marketplace and partner network; AI-enabled processing using patented models; quality control review by a U.S.-based team of geospatial experts; and packaging and integration of deliverables into the customer's environment.

Business model

AirWorks operates as a service provider that processes customer- or partner-sourced field data into mapping deliverables, supported by a data marketplace and a partner network spanning data capture, software and engineering. Customer testimonials reference pricing on a per-project and per-acre basis, positioned against the internal labor cost of manual drafting.

Traction

Published customer testimonials from surveying, engineering and design organizations cite reductions in drafting effort of 70-80%, reduced designer headcount needs, and lower cost per acre versus in-house drafting.
