Episode #14 - Beyond the Surface: The New Data Science of Infrastructure. Denise Squarzolo, Director of Electrical Engineering Services Planview Utility Services Ltd.

What if you could see through the earth and scan entire cities without lifting a shovel? In this episode, I speak with Denise Squarzolo, Director of Electrical Engineering Services at Planview Utility Services, to reveal the high-tech future of infrastructure planning. From LIDAR scans and AI-assisted pole surveys to digital twins that render the invisible visible, Denise breaks down how vast data sets are captured, synthesized and turned into actionable insights. She explores how data accuracy drives smarter design, how digital twins are redefining utility management and why a data-first mindset is crucial for modern infrastructure. Plus, a look at subsurface utility engineering, Ontario’s aging networks and how Sudbury became the unexpected twin of the moon.
