AGIS Awarded Maribyrnong City Council Contract for Footpath and Road Asses Assessment.
The City of Maribyrnong is a small, densely populated area, located in the inner west of Melbourne on the edge of the Maribyrnong River. The City has the second most ethnically diverse population in Victoria, with 40% of residents born outside Australia. Residents come from more than 135 different countries and speak over 80 languages.
AGIS provided all field equipment including digital tablets and differential GPS receivers (and respective licences) which enabled sub-metre accuracy of defect locations. All devices were configured to operate with the Council’s Inspex software (app).
The project was successfully completed one week ahead of schedule with all segments being inspected as per the approved methodology codeveloped by AGIS and Council . This report provided at the end of the project included details of the work undertaken, challenges and future improvements to the overall methodology to be considered for the next road and footpath defect inspections, due May 2018.
