Stormwater Sump Locations and Attributes in Australian Capital Territory

A point dataset showing the locations of stormwater sumps owned or managed by the Transport Canberra and City Services Directorate. Attributes include location description, suburb, ownership, maintained by, asset sub type, pit type, lid material, and surface levels. The data is captured through works-as-executed handover or field audits and maintained in an asset database.

Use Cases

• Map sump locations by suburb and asset sub type for infrastructure planning and maintenance routing.
• Analyze ownership and maintained by attributes to audit public versus private stormwater asset management.
• Assess material and construction details like lid material and cover type for asset lifecycle and replacement analysis.
• Model surface and invert levels to analyze drainage capacity and identify potential flood risk areas.

Strengths

• Includes detailed asset sub type classification with 16 distinct categories like Grated Sump and Kerb Inlet Sump.
• Contains specific engineering attributes such as surface levels, invert levels, and depth for technical analysis.
• Data is maintained through a formal works-as-executed handover process or field audits, suggesting procedural rigor.

Limitations

• The dataset is incomplete for assets managed privately, by other government directorates, or federally.
• Unknown sample size and row count prevent assessment of spatial coverage density or statistical significance.
• Reliance on handover and audit processes may introduce temporal gaps in data currency between updates.
