Record Storms Cause Billions of Dollars in Damage, Stoke Infrastructure Fears; Innovative Inspection Tech Offers Triage
With total damages from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria totaling roughly $365 billion1, the 2017 hurricane season was the costliest on record in the U.S and revealed the dilapidated state of US Infrastructure, which was completely unprepared to withstand the onslaught of such epic storms. The upcoming 2018 hurricane season could be even more destructive, however, raising fears about the disaster it could wreak on the region’s already-crumbling infrastructure. Infrastructure Preservation Corporation, a Clearwater, Florida-based robotics manufacturer, says determining which infrastructure requires immediate investment through using robotic and nondestructive inspection methods to triage failing infrastructure and determine which repairs and investments take priority.
