AEC AI and Tech Strategy Podcast Revolutionizing Infrastructure with Engineering AI Solutions – Ep 096
Nov 25, 2025
Orly Ben-Eliyahu, the COO of Dynamic Infrastructure, discusses transformative engineering AI solutions for infrastructure management. She explains how AI enhances preventive maintenance by analyzing images to forecast asset lifespans and track defects with high accuracy. Orly emphasizes the need for engineers to engage with AI development, ensuring it complements their expertise rather than replaces it. She also envisions a future with intuitive, voice-driven AI assistants that simplify workflows and improve decision-making in a safety-conscious industry.

Episode notes
Design For Users' Existing Workflows
- Meet users in their world and adapt technology to their workflows rather than forcing them to change.
- Prioritize ease of use, minimal training, and cost-conscious deployment to gain adoption in local governments.
From Pixels To Predictive Maintenance
- Engineering AI layers image processing with domain rules to detect, classify, and severity-rank defects.
- Tracking the same defect across time enables momentum detection and supports preventive maintenance.
Track Defects Over Time
- Use historical image records to associate repeated sightings of the same anomaly and monitor its deterioration.
- Act on detected momentum to prioritize repairs before costs escalate.
