Company profile
researched Aug 2026SewerAI develops cloud-based software for underground wastewater infrastructure inspection and asset management. Its core product, PIONEER, is described as a unified environment that carries an infrastructure program from raw CCTV footage through AI-coded inspections, risk-scored assets, rehabilitation recommendations and exportable capital plans. The platform is web-based with no installation required, includes cloud storage and digital submittals, and offers on-truck sync so field crews and headquarters work from the same system.
The product suite includes AutoCode, which analyzes inspection footage and assigns NASSCO observations automatically; Risk & Rehab, which converts existing CCTV and MACP inspections of pipes and manholes into capital plans without requiring GIS or modeling expertise; Smart Project Builder, an AI assistant trained on sewer engineering that answers questions about asset condition, repair cost and prioritization and generates reports; Sewer3D, which uses photogrammetry to build 3D models, point clouds and unfolded 2D flat views from manhole inspections and to take measurements for NASSCO MACP Level 1 and 2 surveys; and QAI, which automates quality assurance review of inspections. The platform integrates with GIS, work order management and custom API solutions.
Business model
SewerAI supplies its software platform directly to infrastructure owners and service providers, bundling same-day customer service and unlimited training with the product, and also works through a Certified Implementation Partner program in which engineering firms configure the platform for utility clients.
Traction
The company reports more than 3.4 million inspections processed, over 578 million feet of infrastructure managed and adoption by over 2,000 cities.
