CoGence, our AI-enabled platform, has the unique ability to mitigate several risks and improve efficiencies at construction sites. One of the main features of the tool is ‘Thermal Profiling’


The construction industry has evolved exponentially over the past few decades and plays a vital role in shaping the built environment. However, with the pace of progress, it has begun to face challenges related to outdated workflows and inefficient communication. In recent years, the integration of technology has become crucial for improving productivity, safety, and overall project quality. 

Implementing the right software can significantly boost efficiency and safety at construction sites. Project managers understand that productivity increases when effective tools and technologies are integrated into the process. CoGence, our AI-enabled platform, has the unique ability to mitigate several risks and improve efficiencies at construction sites. One of the main features of the tool is ‘Thermal Profiling’.

Water leakage is a serious threat to a building’s structural integrity. It can raise operating costs and degrade the general quality of built spaces. The load-bearing ability of the building’s structural elements may be compromised as a result of this deterioration, which can cause issues including rot, corrosion, and rust. Typically, water leakage is caused by poor waterproofing, inadequate drainage systems and faulty construction practices. 

The present methods for detecting water leakage in distribution networks have several limitations. In general, they are expensive, time-consuming, and mostly inefficient. Some of the common challenges faced by our clients include:

- Multiple leaks springing up across their assets. 
- Difficulty in pinpointing the spots where preventive and maintenance waterproofing needs to be done. 
- Moisture seepage becomes evident on the surface only after it has caused extensive damage to the structure. 
- There are no dependable methods to assess and catch probable leaks early.

Let us take a look at how the CoGence technology has been addressing this dire situation.

- The Cogence scanning system captures absolute temperatures on all surfaces and presents the data in the form of thermal overlay over the 3D model. 
- The thermal profile highlighted in contrast brings out the spots of minor and major moisture seepages. 
- The findings are then assessed by the CoGence team and compiled into a report that highlights key spots that need to be waterproofed on a preventive basis. 
- These accurate reports enable clients to reduce the cost of waterproofing by 40%, as they can now focus on specific spots instead of conducting blanket waterproofing across locations.

Research and technology have allowed us to streamline our processes to mitigate risks and cut costs, thereby propelling the industry towards advancement. With data analytics and insights gained from completed projects, we continuously improve our operations to bring in added safety, productivity, collaboration and efficiency.
