Replacing slow, subjective, and hazardous manual entry with automated, millimetric data capture. We optimize decision velocity, preserve capital expenditure, and eliminate human liability.
HAGES compresses the inspection window by over 50%, virtually eliminating the largest cost driver of subterranean assessments: prolonged asset downtime and standby rescue teams.
| Cost Component | Traditional Model | HAGES Architecture | Economic Driver |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plant/Asset Downtime | $45,000 | $22,000 | 51% reduction; inspection window halved |
| Labor (Crew + Hours) | $18,000 | $3,500 | 2 operators × 1 day; zero human entry required |
| Safety & Rescue Standby | $12,000 | $2,000 | OSHA rescue standby eliminated; surface monitoring only |
| Repeat Visits (Incomplete Data) | $14,000 | $500 | Persistent hybrid architecture captures full layout in one shift |
| Decision Delay | $12,000 | $1,500 | Near-real-time output (1-2 days) vs. standard 12-day manual transcription |
| Mobilization & Processing | $21,000 | $4,500 | No scaffolding; automated LiDAR + Visual capture |
| TOTAL COST PER EVENT | $122,000 | $34,000 | Total Savings: $88,000 per deployment |
Traditional inspections generate qualitative video logs that require weeks of manual transcription. By utilizing SLAM processing and global optimization, HAGES collapses the reporting timeline from 12 days to just 48 hours.
Asset remains offline or operates under risk while footage is manually reviewed, transcribed, and engineered into a structural report.
Automated SLAM alignment generates a survey-grade 3D Digital Twin immediately. Engineering analysis is performed directly on the point cloud, resulting in near-real-time actionable outputs.
In large-scale municipal infrastructure projects—such as the City of Phoenix’s $130M Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program—relying on subjective CCTV data historically results in severe misallocation of funds.
When engineering teams rely on 2D visual estimates to apply costly structural liners (like CIPP), an estimated 10-15% of the rehabilitation budget is misallocated to pipes that either do not need repair or are too deformed for the liner to succeed.
By deploying HAGES to capture millimetric 3D geometry (+/- 10mm accuracy), asset owners guarantee that every dollar of Capital Expenditure (CapEx) is applied exclusively to verified, high-risk defects.
