Canadian Pacific Kansas City's geotechnical engineering team earlier this month was honored by Canadian Consulting Engineer magazine and the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies-Canada, which presented two awards to recognize the group's effort to reduce risk and increase operational safety.
Presented in Toronto on Oct. 19, the awards recognize CPKC's work with Tetra Tech in creating an advanced waterbody monitoring system that uses artificial intelligence and remote sensing techniques through satellite data collection to detect water-related hazards, CPKC officials said in a press release.
The system scans more than 1.2 million waterbodies along more than 12,600 miles. AI then analyzes the images and sends alerts for potential hazards. Tom Bourgonje, vice president engineering, and Mehwish Rahman, director geotechnical engineering, accepted the Innovation and Technology Award and the Schreyer Award on behalf of the CPKC team.
