Critical Infrastructure Intelligence

We turn critical infrastructure into a living, measurable record.

AER Intel inspects critical infrastructure with enterprise drones, multi-sensor capture, and AI — no scaffolding, no rope teams, no downtime. Every survey becomes a precise digital baseline you can measure against for the life of the asset.

Our Vision

From reactive repair to predictive care.

Critical infrastructure is usually inspected too late and too rarely. We use technology to change that — catching change before it becomes failure, and making rigorous inspection affordable enough to run on every asset, not only the ones already in trouble.

01

Predictive, not reactive

We see how a structure is changing while there is still time to act — not after damage forces a response.

02

Accessible, not exclusive

Inspection this thorough has been reserved for crisis projects. We make it routine and affordable across an entire portfolio.

03

Evidence, not opinion

Decisions rest on measured, defensible data — exact widths, areas, and locations — instead of subjective field notes.

What We Do

A technology company working toward resilient infrastructure care.

AER Intel is a one-of-a-kind provider of comprehensive condition assessment for critical infrastructure — combining sensors on enterprise-grade platforms with our own AI to read structures above and below the waterline. Our technology is developed in Germany and applied across projects in Germany and India, including acoustic testing methods engineered entirely in-house.

Safety & zero downtime

Remote platforms replace dangerous scaffolding and rope access. We capture visual, thermal, and acoustic data while your facility stays fully operational.

High-fidelity baselines

Each survey is an ultra-precise, millimetre-accurate snapshot — a definitive baseline for analysis, free of the noise and drift of always-on sensor feeds.

Advanced informatics

We translate massive field datasets into a single, clear health assessment using computer vision and modern informatics.

The future of infrastructure

Advances in AI, vision, edge computing, and sensor fusion drive us toward fully automated inspection — safer, always-on, and extending asset life.

Phase 1 · Field execution

We capture what the eye can't reach — surface and subsurface.

To build a complete digital twin, we deploy specialised platforms that read the full condition of a structure: the visible face, the hollow spots beneath it, and the parts hidden underwater.

High-resolution 3D visual capture by drone
Visual & Thermal

High-resolution 3D & thermal capture

Professional drones build a true-to-life 3D model at 1 mm resolution — like examining the concrete from just over a metre away. High-resolution thermal imaging is captured alongside it, revealing water seepage through the concrete and heat from chemical reactions inside it.

Drone-based acoustic data capture
Subsurface

Aerial acoustic sounding

Drone-mounted acoustic sensors map tall vertical faces to reveal hollow zones and delamination hidden beneath the surface.

Rover-based acoustic data capture
Subsurface

Rover-based sounding

On steep spillways drones can't reach, tethered rovers traverse the face and collect a continuous acoustic record.

Handheld pole-mounted acoustic sensor
Subsurface

Targeted handheld capture

Near ground and water level, extended poles with acoustic sensors let our engineers assess every reachable zone in detail.

Underwater sonar data capture
Underwater

Underwater sonar mapping

High-resolution sonar scans the submerged structure to build a precise 3D model of the underwater face at 0.5 mm resolution.

Live underwater deployment

Sonar is deployed and monitored live from the surface, extending full-coverage inspection below the waterline.

Phase 2 · The platform

Field data becomes engineering decisions.

Everything captured in the field flows into one environment, where it becomes measurable, comparable, and ready to act on.

Multi-sensor ingestion & layering

Data from every platform — aerial, rover, handheld, and sonar — lands in one place, fully geotagged as switchable layers.

AI defect detection

Machine-learning models find surface anomalies like cracks and spalling, and subsurface issues like delamination — automatically, across the entire face.

Quantification & indexing

Every defect is indexed and measured — filtered precisely by length, width, and area — so nothing is left to estimation by eye.

Density hotspots

Grid overlays turn millions of data points into clear hotspots, so maintenance effort goes where it matters most first.

3D walkthrough & profiling

Teams navigate a full 3D model and measure exact distances and relative heights directly on the mesh — capturing slab shifts and crack offsets to the millimetre.

Change detection & lifecycle

With a baseline in place, each new survey shows exactly what changed. The platform flags defects that persist, recur, or worsen — and quantifies how much.

Engineering Export

From inspection to repair plan in one click.

Every detected defect, measurement, and location tag exports straight into structured, CAD-ready formats. Your design team can move directly to quantities and repair planning — separating critical interventions from routine upkeep.

The Partnership

Inspection that protects the asset — and the people near it.

We're building the technology to maintain critical infrastructure predictively, at a cost that makes it possible everywhere. We'd welcome the chance to show ADANI exactly what that looks like on your assets.
