The challenge
Ipswich City Council has a large stormwater network located in a heavily urbanised and flood-prone area meaning they are responsible for a great number of critical trunk and priority stormwater infrastructure. In addition to this, the network is of significant age in parts with some infrastructure being over 100 years of age leading to questions about the condition and accuracy of the network.
Our solution
Proterra Group worked closely with Ipswich City Council to develop a hybrid Quickview and CCTV methodology in parallel with survey and GIS technology to both accurately map and condition assess the stormwater network.
The benefit
Proterra Group were able to provide a cost-effective solution through the hybrid methodology proposed as opposed to a standard CCTV program whilst still providing accurate reporting and data quality requirements on the stormwater network. It also allowed for greater access to the network and less disruption to stakeholders from traffic management.
The result
Proterra Group were able to provide a cost-effective solution and give Ipswich City Council a greater understanding of their stormwater network condition and statistics helping them to inform their asset management and maintenance programs
