Born in Silicon Valley, California – 2015.
FRACTA was founded with a bold vision: to revolutionize how water utilities manage aging infrastructure. With deep expertise in both the water industry and machine learning, our founders recognized a pressing challenge—millions of miles of underground pipelines were deteriorating, yet traditional assessment methods were costly, time-consuming, and often inaccurate. They saw an opportunity to harness the power of AI and big data to help utilities predict failures before they happen, ensuring smarter investments and more resilient water systems.
Driven by a commitment to innovation and sustainability, FRACTA developed an advanced machine learning platform that transforms complex pipeline data into actionable insights. By providing utilities with a faster, more precise way to assess risk and optimize maintenance, we empower them to extend the life of their infrastructure, reduce unnecessary costs, and safeguard the communities they serve. Today, FRACTA continues to push the boundaries of AI-driven asset management, making cutting-edge technology accessible to the water industry for a smarter, more sustainable future. FRACTA turns data into smart decisions, helping you manage your utility’s infrastructure with confidence.
Bringing AI to Infrastructure
In an industry where traditional methods often fall short, FRACTA is redefining how water utilities manage aging infrastructure. While many solutions rely on outdated models or reactive maintenance, we harness the power of AI and machine learning to deliver predictive insights—helping utilities stay ahead of failures, optimize budgets, and extend the life of critical assets.
What truly differentiates FRACTA is our fusion of advanced technology with deep industry expertise. Our platform isn’t just about data—it’s about delivering actionable intelligence that simplifies decision-making. With a track record of analyzing thousands of miles of pipeline and tens of thousands of breakage events, we offer a proven, scalable solution that integrates seamlessly with existing workflows. The result? Smarter, more proactive infrastructure management that saves time, money, and resources while ensuring reliable water systems for the communities we serve.
“I have spent over 20 years dedicated to the water industry, driven by a desire to improve the world’s water systems through innovation and business. Today, many young professionals enter this field with the same passion and ambition. However, transforming the long-standing traditions of water infrastructure is no easy task—it requires fresh thinking, new approaches, and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
At FRACTA, we are empowering the next generation of water industry leaders by combining their drive with cutting-edge technology. Through AI, machine learning, and digital innovation, our team is working to modernize infrastructure, making it smarter, more efficient, and more resilient for the future.”
