FYLD’s AI powered platform is radically changing the way streetwork activities are being undertaken by Repair & Maintenance and Capital Delivery teams across multiple industry sectors! Validated results are showing an 85% reduction in service strikes in 6 months and a 57% reduction in local authority fines, all through changing the way fieldworkers are engaging with remote managers, rapidly obtaining real time permit authorisations through smart workflows and evidencing asset and site conditions for improved handovers.
Our urban infrastructure is a complex web of interconnected systems, from transportation networks and power grids to water and sewage lines. Keeping these vital systems running smoothly is essential for our everyday lives.
Streetworks are a necessary part of maintaining this infrastructure, but they can also be disruptive. For example, due to the complex network of underground utilities, these works can pose risks of service strikes, further highlighting the need for accurate information and clear communication during any maintenance project.
At FYLD, we’re deeply aware of the staggering costs associated with service strikes on buried utilities. According to Karl Simons OBE, FYLD’s Chief Futurist and long term Advisor to UK Government’s GeoSpatial Commission team leading the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR) programme, the UK faces a hefty £2.4 billion annual bill due to these incidents. With approximately 60,000 strikes occurring each year—equating to about one in every 65 holes dug—the financial impact is immense and the safety situation continues to be unacceptable!
These strikes bring more than just direct repair costs; they also lead to significant indirect costs such as supply interruptions, project delays and road closures. In fact, indirect costs can be up to 29 times greater than the direct costs of repairs. The ripple effects of these strikes can disrupt entire communities and inflame project budgets.
Understanding this challenge drives our commitment to innovation. At FYLD, we leverage cutting-edge technology to enhance safety and efficiency in fieldwork, helping to mitigate these costly strikes and their far-reaching consequences. FYLD is an AI-powered work execution platform that enables productive and safe operations in the field. A valuable use case for our technology is empowering utilities, contractors, and fieldworkers to elevate compliance, safety, and productivity throughout the streetworks lifecycle.
