Terrain intelligence
DEM preparation, drainage extraction, catchment delineation, and road–stream intersection logic.
Software from Hydroism
Purpose-built tools for water engineering—combining automation, geospatial analysis, transparent AI, and accountable professional review.
AI-assisted road drainage crossing screening.
Early reconnaissance for roads is often slow, fragmented, and difficult to audit. CulvertScan turns terrain, alignment, hydrology, and imagery into a structured screening workflow—then keeps an engineer at the centre of every decision.
Capabilities
CulvertScan is designed for reconnaissance and early screening—not as a substitute for detailed survey, hydraulic design, or professional approval.
DEM preparation, drainage extraction, catchment delineation, and road–stream intersection logic.
Traceable early-stage parameters, rainfall inputs, peak-flow estimates, and uncertainty flags.
Standardised opening concepts for culverts and bridges, organised for rapid engineering review.
Move, merge, add, reject, and confirm crossings before any result becomes an engineering deliverable.
Maps, geospatial layers, chainages, coordinates, catchments, and supporting terrain outputs.
Editable, structured reports that document data, methods, assumptions, findings, and limitations.
Workflow
Every stage preserves the origin of the data, the method used, and the point where engineering judgment enters the workflow.
“AI should act as a semantic reviewer and decision aid—not a free-form generator of engineering facts.”
What comes next
Hydroism will grow carefully: solving real workflow problems, documenting limitations, and releasing only when the engineering value is clear.
Improved project setup, manual engineering review, report generation, and a clean delivery package.
