Abstract
The principal aim of the research was to determine if a mobile data capture system could be suitably applied to the condition assessment of assets within SunWater.
The study involved research into the current condition assessment process within the Irrigation & Drainage department of SunWater. Assets considered in this project involved those specific to the Barratta Section of the Burdekin Haughton Water Supply Scheme (BHWSS). This research involved the engineers and technical officers of the Asset Management, Irrigation & Drainage department within SunWater.
Established during this research was the current condition assessment process, possible mobile data capture solutions to this process and a trial of a mobile data capture system within the Barratta Section of the BHWSS. The associated costs of the current process and mobile solutions were then analysed making use of the outcomes of the trial. From this analysis, conclusions were able to be drawn as to the relative merits of mobile data capture systems and their usefulness to SunWater.
The physical output of the research included a trial application for the completion of asset condition assessments and a recommendation on the economic viability for implementing a mobile data capture system within SunWater.
The results of this study will help to determine if SunWater can incorporate mobile data capture systems into its condition assessment processes and thereby support its productivity initiative of 'Smarter, Lighter, Faster'.
