Driving innovation in infrastructure
As infrastructure demands grow, Rezatec and Seequent launch AI and geospatial solutions for dam monitoring and 3D earth modelling for civil and environmental projects
TWO GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, Rezatec and Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company, have unveiled significant updates to their platforms, aimed at tackling the increasingly complex challenges in dam safety and civil infrastructure projects. Combining advanced AI, satellite data, and 3D subsurface modelling, both companies are setting a new benchmark for safety and productivity across critical infrastructure sectors.

Rezatec’s new Dam Monitoring
Below: Rezatec has launched its enhanced Dam Monitoring soution
geospatial AI platform In September, Rezatec announced the launch of its enhanced Dam Monitoring solution, powered by its new geospatial AI platform. The new Dam Monitoring release enables centralized dam record management by digitizing and storing all dam information in one place and enhances it with satellite data and analysis for tracking unusual changes in ground movement, seepage, vegetation and downstream hazards. Featuring the most advanced AI and visualization engine on the market, the solution analyses data and highlights potential issues on, around and downstream of the dam structure. This underpins potential failure mode monitoring and provides a unique risk management tool that drives existing dam and reservoir safety to the next level, the company said. “As dam operators and regulators seek to improve their risk-informed decision making, it’s vital that they consider every aspect of data to identify and prioritize risks and develop mitigation measures,” said Camilla Braithwaite, Head of Product at Rezatec. “This new Dam Monitoring solution, powered by Rezatec’s geospatial AI platform, leverages the most
comprehensive and robust data sets combined with world-leading AI models and visualizations, to help dam operators and regulators determine, assess and dynamically manage exact risk areas on and around the dam.” The new Dam Monitoring release combines four
core modules: Compliance: creates a centralized dam record by digitizing and storing all dam information in one place and applies powerful analytics and visualization to all rainfall measurement, instrumentation, water level, geo technical and level survey data. Enables easy dam record management and regulatory reporting. Ground motion & seepage: uses satellite data and AI to remotely determine unusual changes in ground movement, seepage and vegetation mapped onto the structure. Year-round monitoring across the entire dam fills data gaps between manual inspections or in between sensor sites, and millimetric change alerts provide early warning on potential issues. Combines with dam record data to boost risk informed decision making and enable targeted ground resources. Downstream Hazard: Identifies the building changes in dam flood zones that have the potential to change hazard ratings across entire dam portfolios state-wide. Reduces the manual burden involved in collecting this information, enables targeted risk identification and supports emergency action planning.
Risk Management: A unique risk matrix represents likelihood and consequence of failure metrics for each of the potential failure modes for a dam. Enables dynamic, comprehensive risk management. Dam Monitoring customer Daniel Turnbull, Dam Safety Engineer, Hunter Water, commented: “Rezatec are continuously improving this solution, and I’m impressed with these latest enhancements which are driving us in the way we use data and what to focus on. At Hunter Water we are confident we are doing everything in our power to exceed regulatory requirements and safeguard our dams and the surrounding population.” “Rezatec’s new geospatial AI platform puts complex data science into the hands of dam operators and regulators by efficiently processing terabytes of satellite and unstructured data and featuring additional new tools including change alerts, 3D mapping, cluster analysis, benchmarking and reporting. Its powerful insights are easy to access and straightforward to use, providing a systematic catalyst for assessing the safety of dams, reservoirs and levees,” added Braithwaite.
