Case Study: City of Melton achieves asset management optimisation with VAPAR

City of Melton analyses 500 stormwater pipes and identifies 8,000+ defects with VAPAR

The City of Melton, the fastest-growing local government area in Australia, faced a challenge in managing its aging stormwater network. Despite having years of CCTV inspection footage, the council struggled with a large and growing backlog of unanalyzed data, making it difficult to identify and prioritize essential pipe repairs. This situation prevented them from meeting their asset management goals and increased the risk of pipe failures.

The City of Melton engaged VAPAR to implement its AI-powered platform. The solution processed over 500 inspection videos, identifying 8,000+ defects and enabling a risk-based rehabilitation program. Using VAPAR allowed the council to achieve significant resource and time savings, convert their inspection backlog into a actionable capital works plan, and secure approval for their drainage renewal budget with a high degree of confidence.
