Blacktown, NSW trials AI-enabled monitoring of stormwater and sewer drainage system

Blacktown, NSW AI Monitoring Stormwater Sewer System

Complete

The city's pilot with VAPAR automated CCTV footage analysis across three kilometers of pipes. VAPAR's AI-enabled platform quickly assessed pipe integrity and the likelihood of bursts or blockages. City officials initiated the pilot following a Better Practice Review that revealed the need for a more responsive maintenance plan. Blacktown City Council used life span estimates without manual CCTV assessments in past maintenance of its 1,160-kilometer drainage system.
