Asset Insight

What Asset Insight does

Asset Insight B.V. is a Dutch infrastructure asset-information management company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Houten, Netherlands. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vialis bv, itself part of the VolkerWessels construction group. The company inspects, digitally measures, continuously monitors, and builds predictive models for physical infrastructure assets across four primary domains: rail, roads, water (including dikes, sluices, quays, and bridges), and airports. Its customers are predominantly Dutch public-sector infrastructure managers—Rijkswaterstaat, ProRail, provinces, municipalities, and water boards—supplemented by large private operators such as Schiphol, GVB Amsterdam, North Sea Port, and Shell Moerdijk, with occasional international projects in markets such as India.

The company's product portfolio is organised around four integrated capabilities. Physical inspections cover NEN 2767 condition surveys, NEN 3140/1010 electrical inspections, CROW 146 visual road inspections, and thermographic surveys. Digital measuring uses specialised vehicles and platforms—including the SKM-meetwagen for skid resistance, the world's only EddyCurrent Lorry for simultaneous dual-rail inspection at 20 km/h, 3D laser scanners, the Elios collision-proof drone, and an underwater ROV—to generate 3D point clouds and imagery. Continuous monitoring is delivered through the proprietary FlexMonitoring IoT platform, with the FlexInspect inspection tool coupled 1:1 to ArcGIS. Predictive modelling combines these datasets with in-house AI capabilities, including computer vision for traffic sign detection and rail defect classification, and a road longitudinal evenness (IRI) prediction model validated at R²=0.97.

Asset Insight generates revenue through project-based, quote-priced professional services engagements with infrastructure operators. Contracts range from multi-year measurement and monitoring programmes (e.g., ProRail's 850-switch Systeemsprong Wissels rollout, long-term NDS contract with GVB) to one-off inspection projects. The company is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, VCA**2017/6.0, SCIOS8, and CO2-Prestatieladder Level 5—credentials effectively required for Dutch public-sector infrastructure procurement. As of 2025 the company employs approximately 110 people across offices in Houten, Vianen, Nieuwegein, and Moerdijk, and recently announced the cessation of Tecson Inspections operations (April 2025) as part of a strategic refocusing on core asset-information activities.

Revenue model

1. Professional Services — Inspections, Measurements, and Monitoring: Asset Insight generates revenue through project-based professional service engagements, primarily for government and private infrastructure operators. Services include NEN inspections, digital measurements (3D scanning, friction testing), continuous IoT monitoring, and predictive modelling. Engagements are custom, quote-based, and typically multi-year contracts (e.g., multi-year SKM friction measurement contracts with Rijkswaterstaat, long-term NDS contract with GVB). Revenue is predominantly service-based with a strong recurring component through monitoring contracts.

Core offering

Asset Insight is an asset information management company that provides infrastructure operators with data-driven insight into the condition of physical assets. It combines four service lines — physical inspections, digital measurements (3D scanning, friction testing), continuous IoT monitoring via its proprietary FlexMonitoring platform, and AI-based predictive modelling — delivered to government agencies and private infrastructure operators across the Netherlands and select international projects.

Product overview

Asset Insight is an asset information management company that inspects, measures, monitors, and predicts the quality of infrastructure assets. The company operates as a unified service offering organized around four core capabilities: Inspections (physical condition assessments), Digital Measuring (3D scanning and sensor-based data collection), Monitoring (IoT-based continuous surveillance via FlexMonitoring platform), and Predictive Modelling (data analytics for forecasting). The product portfolio includes proprietary tools like FlexInspect (inspection data management integrated with ArcGIS) and FlexMonitoring (real-time IoT monitoring platform), along with specialized measurement technologies such as the EddyCurrent Lorry (world's only EC lorry for rail inspection), Elios drone (internal inspection drone with thermal imaging), and underwater ROV robots. Services span NEN 2767 condition inspections, friction measurements using SKM methodology, thermographic inspections, and comprehensive monitoring solutions for tunnels, bridges, dikes, and railway infrastructure across roads, railways, water, and airports.
