The Challenge
Cassowary Coast Regional Council required a greater understanding of the condition of their stormwater network to undertake an accurate valuation of the asset class.
The challenge was to obtain an accurate representation of the entire network with a very small budget and a tight timeframe.
The challenge was to obtain an accurate representation of the entire network with a very small budget and a tight timeframe.
The Solution
Proterra Group presented an option to Council where a satisfactory sample of the network could be inspected and condition assessed to satisfy Council's reporting requirements whilst remaining within budget and time.
The methodology adopted for the inspection program included our Quickview AirHD Pipeline Inspection System and we undertook the inspection of approximately 600 stormwater assets across the four main townships of Innisfail, Mission Beach, Tully and Cardwell.

The Benefit
The Quickview AirHD inspection method allows for the inspection program to be carried out in an expedited timeframe and within a small budget, while still allowing a vast sample of the network to be captured.
This methodology allows our Field Officers to quickly mobilise with minimal equipment. Productivity is essentially doubled from traditional CCTV methodology with cost potentially reduced by half.
Additionally, asset accessibility is significantly higher than CCTV due to fewer factors causing survey abandonment.

The Result
The inspection program was carried out with good progress and high-quality data being captured appeasing Council's reporting requirements.
Based on this, it was therefore requested by Council for Proterra Group to inspect and condition assess additional assets that have previously been reported as requiring maintenance.
An additional 200 assets were inspected across the original inspection period allowing Council to make more informed decisions about repair, and also identifying assets that require immediate attention.
Proterra Group's customised Client Dashboard was utilised throughout this project allowing Council many benefits such as viewing inspection data and videos/photos in real-time, which allows Council to assess the condition of the network immediately and also assist with project programming and identify additional assets to inspect if required.
It also allowed both Council and Proterra Group to undertake project management tasks much quicker such as project progress and cost control.
