Jabiru water tower inspection

Jabiru water tower inspection

Client: Power and Water Corporation (PWC)


The 34 metre high water tower is located in Jabiru, the main township in Kakadu National Park, approximately 250kms from Darwin. The risks and costs of inspecting such a large piece of infrastructure – both externally and internally are high - so Rise was contracted to create a digital twin of the water tank, and to use an underwater ROV drone to inspect the internal tank condition. 




Rise used data from a UAV aerial drone and terrestrial scanner to create a photogrammetry, digital twin of the water tank. As photogrammetry specialist, Rise create a high quality, precise digital twin which allowed the client to undertake a highly detailed, accurate inspection. 


The underwater ROV drone captured video footage and imagery of the internal condition of the tank, which enabled the client to internally inspect the tank without the risk of using scuba divers, or cost and waste of having to empty the tank

Rise PC's custom built USV cutting through tropical weed in waste water pond.

We are so proud to have our investment into the development of a tropical bathymetric USV (unmanned service vehicle) secure matched funding from Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre Ltd. Current wastewater survey methods are often not fit-for-purpose for the waste water conditions in tropical Northern Australia - high debris loads and organic matter.
