EXPERIENCE
Iconac “AI-Assisted Water Main Inspection”, Milwaukee, WI 10/2013-Present
Independent Contractor, Management Consulting, Co-Founder and Investor
ICONAC is an alumnus of the WERCBench Labs Accelerator at the Midwest Energy Research Consortium, the YEDI Accelerator at York University, the Water Council’s BREW incubator, and the 2016 Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest.
Iconac's Tonal Pipe Assessment (TPA) technology simplifies watermain inspection. TPA uses low-frequency sound to assess wall thickness, stiffness, leak location, tuberculation, and remaining service life without any service disruption or excavation.
TPA’s AI driven analysis engine properly implements higher order physical effects not captured by commonly used water-hammer, inverse transient and time-of-flight techniques. This enables inspection of a variety of different pipe materials and customized solutions.
