Case studies

An alternative means of conducting waste management and cleaning in stations through robots that spray cleaning chemicals (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) onto surfaces.

Technologies that enable the capture of greasy waste from commercial and industrial facilities to convert into biodiesel.

Combination of sensors and machine learning to predict timelines and modes of failure for physical and mechanical assets such as pipes, pumps, and motors.

Automated welding technologies used for pre-fabrication of pipes, tanks and treatment plants to reduce construction costs and project timeframes.

This use case aims at creating a distributed, secure, reliable and smart sensing system in urban and suburban areas capable of collecting information and data to be shared with local governments and public authorities to improve management, quality and provision of public services.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be integrated in all stages of infrastructure planning and design to transport users into virtual environments that reveal what designs could look like when constructed and how they would impact upon the existing environment.

A combination of digital solutions and treatment technologies can enable last-mile access to clean water through water kiosks and smart metering.

3D printers can produce components on-site to enable a faster response to maintenance needs, reducing environmental impact from transportation and reducing service downtime.

The use of sensors and robotics technology to enable preventive and predictive maintenance of bridges.

Artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise water and wastewater treatment processes through automated control and/or provision of decision support for plant operators.

The use of Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and 5G to enable Smart-Cities-as-a-Service (SCcaas) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model to optimize the provision of existing public services.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be used to deploy training programs and assist workers in performing asset inspections and maintenance works.

This use case explores technologies that decrease Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment processes.

Digital knowledge platforms that share data and knowledge on-site during construction and maintenance, making it readily accessible to all workers thereby reducing project time while also improving work quality and safety.

Automated Robot Cranes (ARC) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to perform tasks autonomously to avoid collisions, accidents and delays during operations.

Regional navigation and information system enabling remote monitoring of location and condition of vehicles (e.g. school buses and ambulances) and quickly respond to unforeseen events or violations of the route schedule.

3D printing to reconstruct heritage pieces that were lost or damaged from heritage properties without the need to resort to skilled artisans who are difficult to find.

A water height and flood management system enables local authorities to predict flooding and avoid building infrastructure in high risk areas.
