Case Study: Bayside Council improves stormwater risk management with VAPAR

Bayside Council identifies 12,500+ stormwater defects with VAPAR

Bayside Council, located in Sydney, Australia, faced significant challenges in managing its extensive and aging stormwater network due to increasing climate-driven rainfall events. The council needed a smarter solution to centralize inspection data, identify high-risk defects, and integrate condition insights into its long-term renewal planning. To address this, they partnered with VAPAR to use its AI-powered cloud platform for automating condition assessments from CCTV footage.

VAPAR implemented its platform to digitize CCTV inspection workflows, enabling rapid upload and AI-assisted defect detection aligned with industry standards. This solution allowed the council to process over 500 inspections, identify more than 12,500 features and defects across 10.5 km of network, and significantly improve the prioritization of renewal projects. The data-driven insights from VAPAR directly supported the council's 10-year funding plan and enhanced its risk visibility for climate adaptation.
