INDUSTRY PROBLEM

This project is commencing with an application use case with the water utility South East Water but will have broader relevance across the RIIS  

Water utility service providers are facing a severe impact of network spill, which damages internal and external assets and businesses. For example, Soh East Water indicated that their Water Tank spill in Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, damaged critical locations and businesses, including Mussel Farms. Furthermore, it is difficult to detect and mitigate the spill of underground assets.   

To address these issues, multi-dimensional (2D, 3D) digital asset inventory combined with a real-time micro-climate predictive model is necessary to support spill mitigation measures. Furthermore, the application of innovative sensors including Fibre Optic Systems integrated with Spatial data in a Digital Twin will enable pipeline monitoring, no spill network and reduced contingency
