We are interested in solutions that use machine learning or artificial intelligence to help reduce the time spent evaluating 2D CAD drawings to pinpoint and identify lapses that require correcting. For example, the solution should be able to estimate the size and capacity of sump pits or tanks based on the drawing and determine if they are appropriately sized to the area of the worksite. Other examples include the ability of the solution to identify whether critical requirements for ECM are met based on annotations/texts within the drawing.
Previous attempts to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) methods to review ECM were put on hold as the industry is not ready to transition to BIM, which are much more complex 3D models of civil structures.
