Case study: a project to more efficiently remove and manage sediment build-up in stormwater treatment wetlands is reducing the amount of prescribed waste sent to landfill.
Case study: an innovative delivery approach has facilitated the application of cutting-edge sewage treatment technology and design, benefitting the community and environment.
Case study: a safety app to improve understanding of confined spaces has helped staff apply more practical safety controls, with plans to make this available industry wide.
Case study: we collaborated with a number of partners to alert authorities about potential clusters of people infected with the COVID-19 virus, and timelines of potential outbreaks.
Case study: artificial intelligence has been used with drone imagery to detect vegetation in retarding basins, potentially reducing monitoring costs to ensure they meet design requirements.
Case study: a trial has shown that intermittently operating aerators at our reservoirs can achieve the same water quality outcomes as continuous aeration.
Cases study: a new automated system at Patterson Lakes will remotely close the town's flood gates as soon as we are alerted about potential flood conditions.
Case study: We're working with leading universities to develop a new, evidence-based operating protocol for our Western Treatment Plant's anaerobic lagoons, in order to manage sludge and optimise biogas production.
Case study: A new technology is automatically sequencing pumping and water distribution across our infrastructure network.
