Utilities can collect infrastructure data faster than ever, but converting images and point clouds into engineering-ready models remains slow and labour-intensive. This article examines the hidden ‘analysis tax’ delaying structural reviews and distributed energy resource interconnections. It shows how reality capture, photogrammetry, and AI-assisted modelling can shorten field-to-analysis workflows, while stressing that repeatability, traceability and human validation remain essential for engineering decisions.
