AI-powered Condition Intelligence
Our infrastructure is ageing. Climate risks are rising. Yet, inspection practices continue to rely on scattered photos, paper forms, and subjective condition ratings. This is why we developed Digital Custodianship - a new vision for infrastructure care. It combines structured data, AI, and human expertise to restore the insight and foresight that once defined great engineering.
And it all starts with better data... Introducing Windward Inspect; our mobile-first tool designed to modernise in-person inspections without disrupting established workflows.

Mobile Inspection App
With just a phone in hand, engineers can capture high-quality images, tag defects, locate issues, and log condition notes—all structured, synced, and ready for action.
Desktop Analysis App
But the real power of Windward Inspect is what happens after the inspection. Because every image, every note, every tagged defect builds a long-term view of change.

Visualise and Measure Change Over Time
Whether it’s a new asset or one that’s been in service for decades, you’re not just recording what it looks like today—you’re building a digital memory that tracks its condition from day one, helping asset managers understand and quantify how it’s evolving over time.
Automated Reporting
Use built-in templates and the data captured in the app to instantly generate professional-grade PDF reports. No more stitching together documents by hand—just tap, review, and share.

What our customers say about Windward Inspect...
Windward Inspect ensures that asset owners and managers can efficiently capture and utilise high-quality visual condition data, both during the initial warranty period and throughout the asset’s life cycle.
"It's not just about saving money but about improving quality. Windward Inspect lets us pass on an understanding of an asset to all the people who need to know it. It helps us reduce costs today, but the real value is how it gets data collection right from the very beginning and then uses that to improve the maintenance over the lifetime of the asset for future generations.”
John Bennetts, Structures Asset Management Lead, WSP.
Digital Custodianship: A Vision for the Future of Infrastructure Stewardship
This vision paper redefines how we care for our infrastructure through preserving critical expertise, and ensuring that our bridges, tunnels, roads, and railways continue to serve society for generations to come. organisations.
Digital Custodianship is not about replacing engineers with technology. It is about preserving institutional knowledge, integrating historical data, and applying AI-driven insights to extend asset life and improve resilience.
