EYEfi Group Technologies (EGTI) specialized remote detection technology was provided to Melbourne Water during the recent fire season in Australia.
Melbourne Water is the authority responsible for managing some of Victoria’s largest and most critical water catchments covering more than 160,000 hectares or approximately 395,000 acres.
Melbourne Water has direct responsibility for bushfire planning, management, and the identification of bushfires within and around Melbourne’s water catchments.
EYEfi’s Spatial Video platform and SPARC technology provided Melbourne Water with spatial targeting capabilities using high precision visual spectrum cameras and thermal sensors along with lightning detection capability.
EYEfi enabled fire personnel to determine the geographical location of a fire from a distance of 15 kilometres. Thermal imagery and SPARC technology successfully recorded target locations, through smoke and cloud, from a distance greater than 40 kilometres.
Personnel were able to access the EYEfi cloud platform remotely, share the information with authorized users and perform key surveillance and monitoring activities from any location.
Tim Wood, General Manager Asset Management Services for Melbourne Water, stated,
“The EYEfi SPARC technology has been successfully deployed and utilised by Melbourne Water throughout the 2020/21 fire season. This technology has enabled us to remotely identify the location of fires using the EYEfi technology located at Poley Tower in the O’Shannassy Reservoir catchment. The technology also offered Melbourne Water new capabilities, such as geo- targeting of fire and lightning strike events under any conditions without the need for triangulation and at any time of day, providing us with accurate and real-time results.”
Simon Langdon, CEO, EYEfi, added,
“Melbourne Water management have been impressed with the results and use of EYEfi SPARC as an operational tool during the 2020/21 fire season. As a company, we are very excited to deliver this new capability and solve some critical issues for Melbourne Water.”
