Results from the field

Data that changed the decision.

Recent projects
$6M treatment plant expansion avoided

Twenty short term flow meters and on-site rain gauges showed three subcatchments carried 65% of the I&I. Capital went into relining and inflow reduction instead, and peak wet weather flows fell 35% within two years.

Regional council
34 sites installed and operated in 12 weeks

Sewer monitoring across the Wulguru and Pallarenda catchments, to inform the council’s infrastructure planning and management.

Townsville City Council
24 h until flows were back at baseline after relining

After a cleaning and relining program, flow profiles recorded by EDS showed the network back to its baseline hydraulic behaviour within a day, confirming the works had restored full capacity.

Coastal network
15 sites of sewer flow and rainfall monitoring in eight weeks

High resolution sewer flow and rainfall monitoring, giving the utility the data it needed for infrastructure planning and management.
