Manam Applications
Avisight
Manam Applications, of Israel, and Nevada –based Avisight were awarded a BIRD grant in 2018 to develop an unmanned bridge inspection platform that shifts bridge inspections from traditional manual methods to drone-based automated systems.
The final product can assess and inspect bridge structures without the need for inspectors to be physically lowered onto the bridges by cranes and ropes, which causes lane closures and traffic jams. The companies create a 3D model of the bridge, allowing engineers to examine and determine its physical and functional state. The inspection platform includes a digital twin of the bridge, a detailed 3D mesh model and images, providing an accurate assessment of the bridge’s condition and a maintenance plan to extend its lifespan. The companies completed successful POCs with the Israel Ministry of Transportation and the Nevada Department of Transportation.
