Infrax Tech Launches AI Platform For Civil Engineering Projects In Nigeria

A Nigerian technology company, Infrax Tech, has introduced Infranalyze AI, a platform designed to assist civil engineers and infrastructure professionals with the planning and preliminary assessment of infrastructure projects.

The platform uses artificial intelligence alongside geospatial data to support activities such as road alignment analysis, terrain assessment, construction quantity estimation and infrastructure design recommendations.

Its development comes as engineering professionals increasingly explore the use of digital tools in infrastructure planning, where site conditions, material requirements, construction costs and design considerations can influence project decisions.

Infranalyze AI includes tools for evaluating proposed project locations, analysing terrain and soil conditions, and carrying out preliminary assessments of road construction requirements. Its functions cover road alignment, cut-and-fill calculations, drainage planning, culvert positioning, bridge analysis and quantity summaries.

The platform also provides chainage-related information for road planning and uses satellite mapping and terrain visualisation to display proposed infrastructure locations and corridors.

Explaining the thinking behind the platform, Infrax Tech founder, Engr. Mazen Kalassina, said: “Engineering projects involve several stages of assessment, from understanding site conditions and terrain to estimating quantities and evaluating construction requirements. We developed Infranalyze AI to bring some of these processes into a more accessible digital environment, helping engineers work with relevant information and make better-informed preliminary assessments.”

The platform also includes a feature called “Discuss with AI,” which allows users to interact with the system through a conversational interface. It can be used to explore potential borrow-pit locations and construction material sources, estimate quantities and obtain indicative construction costs based on Nigerian market conditions and state-specific pricing considerations.

On the role of artificial intelligence in engineering, Kalassina said: “Artificial intelligence has the potential to support engineering practice in practical ways, particularly in data analysis, project planning and technical assessment. However, engineering decisions still require professional knowledge and judgement. Our objective is to provide tools that assist engineers in their work, not replace the expertise they bring to each project.”

Users can also generate reports and export information to spreadsheets for further review and documentation.

Kalassina said the platform was developed with local infrastructure conditions in mind. “We also considered the realities of infrastructure development in Nigeria during the platform’s development. Construction costs, terrain conditions and the availability of materials can vary considerably from one location to another. Having tools that help professionals examine these factors during the planning stage can be useful in evaluating project requirements.”

Infranalyze AI is designed to support engineering analysis and preliminary project assessments. The recommendations and estimates generated by the platform remain subject to professional review and validation by qualified engineers.
