Ingress-ception aims to proactively identify and address inflow and infiltration in sewer networks to help reduce the risk of flooding, pollution and other compliance issues across our region.
Sponsored by Jacobs and Stantec (Strategic Technical Partners), the challenge focuses on efficiently pinpointing entry points into sewer networks and developing cost-effective solutions to stop this from happing.
We are seeking to develop methods and innovative solutions to reduce inflow without causing any other issues. The sprint will involve guest speakers, strategic thinkers, and collaborative partners to identify ingress locations, prioritise actions, and explore viable solutions. The goal is to create methodologies, identify tools and create a prioritised list of real outputs we can tackle from day one to take flow out of our network.
