State & Local Government Agencies

State, regional, and local governments are under increased pressure to improve citizen and business services while managing resources effectively and efficiently. Cities are complex, interdependent systems that rely on functioning infrastructure. Every type of civil infrastructure, whether it is transport, water, waste, energy, buildings, or bridges, is an integral part of the fabric of a city.

However, the unfortunate reality is that devastating natural disasters and events are occurring more often, are more destructive, and are now happening in places with no prior history of disaster due to the impacts of climate change. Prolonged droughts followed by massive wildfires in the western US. Stronger hurricanes and floods in the gulf and eastern seaboard and freak snow storms devastating power grids in the south are just a few of the climate disasters observed over the last few years. To make matters worse, many communities have antiquated civil infrastructures, especially in the power, water, and transportation sectors that can be destroyed or rendered inoperable in a matter of minutes. In some cases, old and faulty infrastructure can even cause a disaster.

Digital Asset Management is one of the mechanisms to address deteriorating or damaged infrastructure.

Utility managers and decision-makers need digital tools to create and assess critical information and the operational data of the assets and optimize MRO efforts. Traditional infrastructure equipped with IoT and AI technology for active condition monitoring and diagnostics can provide reliable and continuous actionable insight for decision-makers in cities and states to optimize their maintenance activities and take care of minor defects before the problem exacerbates.

Build routes to manage and maintain Civil Infrastructure.

Much of the world’s civil infrastructure has reached — or exceeded — its useful lifespan, leading to a two trillion USD backlog of improvements to more than a million structures globally. It’s a critical economic growth initiative to ensure the continuity of daily life for citizens.

IBM Maximo for Civil Infrastructure, an extension of IBM Maximo Application Suite, merges digital intelligence with engineering know-how. It helps operators safely monitor, manage and maintain infrastructure assets, predict failures, and prioritize repairs.

IBM Civil Infrastructure is bundled into Maximo Application Suite and provides unique ability to collection of data and provides actionable Defect Detection and Risk models. The resultant analytics and actional items can be performed through Maximo inspection, services and work management features, or can be integrated into your existing CMMS or EAM system.
