No more measuring wheels: How AI, drones and a bit of cop-on are fixing roads (and budgets)

In this episode of Transform Gov, Maeve Kneafsey speaks with Alan Browne, CEO and co-founder of Soarvo, about how their cloud-based geospatial AI platform is helping governments and local authorities turn complex drone, laser, and video data into fast, accurate infrastructure decisions. Alan shares a game-changing case study with National Highways UK, where Soarvo’s AI and augmented reality platform replaced manual road inspections, saving £17 million in one year.
You’ll learn:
• How AI and drone footage can spot road damage before the human eye can
• Why user-friendly tools (not engineers-only systems) are the future of geospatial data
• How local authorities can roll out AI pilots for under €10K
• Why Soarvo is built to be used by road crews, not just data scientists
This is practical, affordable digital transformation in action — and it's already reshaping how infrastructure is managed across the UK and Ireland.
