Victorian Government owned water authority, Western Water, has deployed a solution from Open Spatial to manage its spatial data for servicing nearly 50,000 of its customers in regional towns west of Melbourne.
The authority said it had selected Open Spatial
Australia to supply its corporate spatial solutions for servicing a
population of 135,000 in towns and urban locations west of Melbourne
including Bacchus Marsh, Gisborne, Melton, Sunbury and Woodend. The
authority provides water and wastewater services to the towns, managing
2,850km of wastewater, water and recycled water underground networks.
The Managing Director of Western Water, John Wilkinson, said that “Open
Spatial’s Solution will offer Western Water innovative solutions to
managing its spatial data, from the survey through to the design of
infrastructure projects, throughout construction and as a daily tool
for maintenance and ongoing management of systems and services.
“As a result, Western Water will have greater capacity to move quickly
to isolate problem areas but, more importantly, to monitor performance
and to better plan the network.”
According to Wilkinson, Western Water will be “better able to isolate
and manage pipeline leaks and bursts and other infrastructure
incidents, as well as monitoring the performance of its systems more
accurately.
Wilkinson said Open Spatial is well recognised for delivering mapping
software and individualised applications to government and utilities
sectors throughout the Asia Pacific region, and that “Western Water’s
GIS capability was developed several years ago and has required
extensive refinement over the past four years within the capabilities
of the initial system.
“This system reached the end of its use-by date and Western Water has
now put in place a specialised water industry mapping facility
(enlighten & Munsys) that is compliant with its other databases to
record and manage its 2,850km underground pipeline network.”
Wilkinson also said that Western Water had conducted a select tender
assessment process that targeted companies present in the Victorian
water industry.
According to Open Spatial, it now provides its Spatial Solution to seven out of 17 (41%) of urban water authorities in Victoria.
