AI Water Infrastructure Solutions
Water utilities can reduce the risk of catastrophic pipe failures, plan ahead for pipe replacements and identify lead service lines with support from Ferguson Waterworks. We’re proud to offer access to the next generation of pipe replacement planning—cutting-edge pipe condition assessment technology that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to provide an inside look at your utility’s infrastructure.*
VODA.ai intuitive pipe service
With VODA.ai and help from our expert associates, you can take a proactive approach to infrastructure maintenance. Prioritize water pipe replacements and identify potential lead service lines with two services from VODA.ai.
For leak detection, we’ll work with you to gather and import relevant data. Then, we plug the data into our system, which uses machine learning to fill gaps and provide accurate results. You’ll receive detailed visual reports that help optimize pipe lifespan and prevent major leaks before they happen.
VODA.ai also empowers you to submit your lead inventory—without visiting every lateral—using machine learning. Cut down on field visits, detect lead pipes early and monitor your replacement goals with all the information you need at your fingertips.
Ferguson can help you gain confidence in your water utility planning by relying on machine learning and data to make informed decisions.

TDG for critical infrastructure
Transcend Design Generator (TDG) enables municipalities and capital planners to rapidly generate preliminary engineering designs for critical infrastructure, including the water and wastewater treatment and power sectors.
This intuitive, online generative design platform leverages machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the latest treatment plant and substation design best practices to quickly output 3D models, P&IDs, process flow diagrams, civil takeoffs, annual load and chemical costs and more. TDG can be used for both greenfield and renovation projects and customized for your specifications and design criteria.
With TDG, you can get conceptual designs in hours so you can focus resources, lower costs and improve schedules. Municipalities and capital planners can:
Easily evaluate treatment technologies and design options for new and renovation projects.
Narrow project scope early so your team and your design professional can focus on detailed design and make the best investment decisions.
De-risk capital planning by evaluating long-term costs and risks associated with different design options, such as extreme weather, population growth, equipment selection and power consumption.
Improve CIP and budgetary estimates.
