A Vision for the Future of Foundation Engineering and Construction

When writing this article almost 10 years ago about the future of the deep foundations industry, little did I have in mind that ChatGPT would be created. Nevertheless, the mere act of writing up the article created a spark within me to prep up for what was coming. So, we put together some form of natural language communication with our deep excava- tion software, and although cumber- some, we could voice command it. When ChatGPT came to being, this allowed us to create the first AI assistant for generating deep excavation models. In November, we are releasing the first AI system for predicting pile capacity, which was one of the items described in the original article.
