Service: Sewage - Improving Sewage Pipe Network predicting sewer blockages

Responsible organisation: Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY (Local Government)

The AI solution predicts possible blockages in Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY’s sewage network, spanning over 3000 kilometers. With the intelligent solution, HSY is able to prevent one third of blockages on an annual basis as sewer cleaning can be targeted on blockage-prone drain ranges suggested by the AI solution. The solution is used in Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority. The experience showed that the AI is able to predict blockages efficiently, and up to a third of the blockages could be avoided.
