Application of Remote Condition Monitoring Technologies for Hydro Tasmania’s Civil Infrastructure. Civil infrastructure within portfolio includes water conveyance assets (canals & flumes, pipelines & penstocks, intakes & tunnels) and access & egress assets (roads, accessways, bridges).

Shelby Hughes presents an overview of some of the technology applications Hydro Tasmania are currently utilising for remote monitoring of their civil assets. Such technologies include ROVs for water conveyance assets such as intakes and the use of AI and Skydio drones for road & bridge data collection.

About the speaker:

Shelby Hughes, Manager Civil Portfolio, Assets and Infrastructure, Hydro Tasmania

Whilst working as a flood engineer in Cambodia, Shelby was involved in technical investigations that supported strategic decision-making of dams and irrigation assets. This experience led her to pursue a career in asset management, with Hydro Tasmania’s unique array of dams and water conveyance assets attracting her to the business and her current role. As Manager Civil Portfolio, Shelby leads a dedicated team of specialists in civil engineering (structural, hydraulics, geotechnical) and spatial technologies to manage the asset risks of Hydro Tasmania’s extensive portfolio of civil assets. Her team undertakes technical investigations and engineering inspections which have benefited from the application of remote condition monitoring.

This session forms the first in a webinar series presented by MRiAM – Safe and Smart: Use of Technology for Remote Monitoring of Assets.

How do we remove people from dangerous conditions and situations and do our remote monitoring smarter? The Maintenance & Reliability in Asset Management special interest group presents this 5-part series where we look at different types of technologies that can be employed to reduce the risk to people and property.

Join us online and take the opportunity to look into techniques that are less familiar and can be adapted to your industry, or learn more about what others are doing within your own industry!
