FOR DOTs & INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGERS

TURN DECADES OF INSPECTIONS INTO ONE DIGITAL RECORD

Straintest CLEAR turns historical inspection reports, drawings, photos and maintenance records into structured digital assets that engineers can understand, query and act on.

Infrastructure knowledge is trapped

Decades of condition data sit in scanned PDFs, historical reports, photo folders and disconnected databases. Engineers re-read the same files every cycle, and the trend that matters is easy to miss.

The missing layer for existing assets

Digital delivery and BIM for infrastructure cover what gets built next. Most of the network was built decades ago. CLEAR brings those structures into modern BIM, digital twin, and asset management workflows.

What CLEAR does

Reconstruct structures

Rebuild spans, girders, bearings and substructure from existing plans and reports.

Identify and locate defects

Extract defects from text and photos and pin each one to the component it affects.

Track deterioration

Follow every element's condition state across inspection cycles.

Ask questions

Query one asset or an entire portfolio, with answers traced to source pages.

Beta

Auditable recommendations

Repair, inspection and monitoring proposals with the evidence behind each.

Integrate

Exchange data with existing asset-management systems such as AASHTOWare BrM.

Try it on your bridge

Upload inspection reports

PDF reports, drawings or photos for a single structure.
