Complimentary Audit

Stormwater Asset Audit Services

A practical first-step assessment to help your council understand the condition, accuracy and potential issues within its stormwater drainage network.
Much of your council’s stormwater network sits underground, out of sight and often represented by asset records that have been built up over many years.

Missing assets, inaccurate locations, unknown pipe condition, disconnected records, silt, roots, and blockages can make it difficult to know how much confidence to place in the available information.

A Rapid Stormwater Asset Audit provides a focused assessment of a nominated priority area or a representative section of your network, giving your team an evidence-based snapshot of what is there, its condition, and where further investigation may be warranted.

It is a practical way to identify potential data, condition and maintenance issues before committing to a larger network-wide audit, CCTV program, modelling project or capital works investigation.

What’s Included

Existing Data Review
We review the available GIS, asset records and supporting information for the agreed assessment area to understand what Council currently knows about the network.
Field Verification
RapidMap locates and verifies selected stormwater pits and drainage assets to identify differences between existing records and what is actually present in the field.
Pit & Pipe Inspection
Selected pits are opened and inspected, and connected pipes are reviewed to provide an initial understanding of the network configuration and visible condition.
Rapid Pipe Condition Screening
Where suitable, RapidMap uses fixed-zoom camera technology to look along pipes from the pit, helping to identify visible blockages, sediment, roots, debris, or damage without immediately requiring a full CCTV inspection.
Network Connectivity Check
We assess whether recorded pits and pipes appear to connect as expected and flag potential gaps, incorrect alignments, or other network data issues.
Maintenance Issue Identification
The assessment highlights visible issues that may warrant cleaning, root removal, further inspection or other maintenance attention.
Data Confidence Check
RapidMap identifies where existing asset information appears reliable and where further verification could improve confidence in the Council's stormwater records.
Priority Findings
Your team receives a concise summary of what was identified, including areas that may warrant closer investigation or action.

Understand Your Network Before Deciding What Comes Next

You do not always need to inspect every pipe, rebuild every asset record or commission detailed modelling to start improving your understanding of the network.

A focused Stormwater Asset Audit can help reveal whether the bigger issue is asset data, connectivity, maintenance, condition or something requiring deeper investigation.

RapidMap has extensive experience auditing and assessing stormwater drainage networks for Australian local government. We can help your team establish an initial evidence base, identify where the biggest information gaps may exist and determine whether further investigation is justified.
