The City of Vincent has conducted a thorough investigation of its stormwater drainage infrastructure to evaluate its current condition, serviceability, and capacity to meet current and emerging demands.

This process includes system modelling and collaboration with key stakeholders such as the Water Corporation, Main Roads WA, neighbouring local governments, and owners of flood-prone land, drainage easements, or development sites.

In addressing stormwater drainage issues and flood risks within its neighbourhoods, the City has been working closely with Talis’ Asset Management team for over a year. In mid-2023, the City of Vincent committed to a comprehensive stormwater drainage data capture project. The primary objective of the project was to drastically improve the quality and completeness of drainage information maintained by the City. Accurate drainage data is essential to inform flood modelling activities and address the flooding hotspots within the stormwater drainage network.

It was recognised that essential infrastructure, such as drainage systems, required capital investment in response to changing weather patterns and increased storm frequency. As a result, Talis Consultants were contracted by the City of Vincent to inspect underground drainage assets, validate network connectivity, and assess overall asset condition. The goal was to ensure that the City’s asset registers for stormwater drainage assets were populated with accurate and up-to-date data to support design, maintenance, and capital renewal activities.

The assessment, which spanned 15 months, involved extensive data collection and condition rating of all stormwater pits and pipes.

This collaborative effort demonstrates the City’s commitment to addressing critical infrastructure needs, ensuring the well-being of its community. This is but one of the many projects Talis have undertaken with the City of Vincent over the years.

The Talis Asset Management Team also work with other metro and regional local governments across Australia to deliver strategic long term Infrastructure Asset Planning, incorporating condition and risk assessment, maintenance planning and the development of forward works programs.
