Power + Utilities
Asset Intelligence for Australia's Power, Water & Utilities Networks
From transmission tower to treatment plant. From substation component to sewer main.
AssetStack connects asset registers, 3D digital environments, condition assessments, inspection workflows and AI-assisted analysis into a single intelligence platform, so network operators and infrastructure contractors can move from fragmented information to defensible, regulator-ready decisions.

The Industry Challenge
The Infrastructure Investment Cliff Is Here
Much of Australia's power and water infrastructure was built in the post-war decades and is now reaching end-of-life simultaneously. Meanwhile, climate-driven events, renewable integration and regulatory scrutiny are accelerating the pressure on asset managers, network operators and infrastructure contractors.
- 7,000+
Maintenance Backlog Tasks
Major distribution networks are seeing maintenance backlogs spike after severe weather, industrial action and inspection volume increases, with static spreadsheets unable to adapt.
- 1.1M+
Inspection Photos Per Year
A single distribution network generates nearly a million inspection images annually. The volume of data is overwhelming, and most of it never connects to capital planning.
- $7.8B
Metropolitan Water Capex
Melbourne Water's 2026 to 2031 price submission alone proposes $7.8 billion in capital investment. Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide face similar simultaneous replacement cycles.
The compounding problem: Asset information is distributed across EAM systems, GIS platforms, engineering drawings, spreadsheets, inspection reports and contractor records. Maintenance decisions are driven by age and fixed schedules rather than actual condition. Long-term replacement programs become static spreadsheets that are impossible to update when new inspection data arrives. And asset owners have limited visibility of infrastructure maintained by external contractors.
Who It's For
Built for Network Operators and the Contractors Who Serve Them
AssetStack is designed for both infrastructure owners who need visibility and defensible capital plans, and engineering contractors who need consistent, scalable asset intelligence across multiple client portfolios.
For Infrastructure Owners & Network Operators
Electricity network operators, water utilities and renewable asset owners who need to maintain a consistent asset information framework, understand condition across multiple facilities, and develop defensible maintenance and capital investment programs for regulators like the AER and IPART.
- Consistent asset visibility across all facilities
- Condition-informed capital planning for regulator submissions
- Common environment for reviewing contractor-supplied data
- Dynamic forward works that update when inspections arrive
- Climate risk overlay on every asset
For Engineering & Maintenance Contractors
Organisations delivering asset management services across multiple contracts who need a structured digital register, visual reporting and long-term maintenance intelligence, moving beyond "work completed" to "here's what your infrastructure will require next."
- Consistent approach across multiple client portfolios
- 3D digital twins that extend beyond design into operations
- Condition assessments with photo evidence and audit trails
- Capital forecasting and replacement recommendations
- Differentiated service offering beyond reactive maintenance
Capabilities
Register. Visualise. Assess. Plan. Prove.
Five integrated capability groups that close the gap between inspection data and defensible capital decisions, so every regulator submission, board paper and contractor handover is backed by traceable evidence.
Component-level asset intelligence
Structured Asset Hierarchy
Network → Region → Substation → Asset System → Equipment → Component. Every transformer, circuit breaker, switchgear, protection relay, control building, structure, fence and drain is captured with quantity, unit rate, base life, condition grade and criticality.
Intelligent Asset Register
Import existing registers from Excel and we'll help you clean, standardise and validate. Or build new ones from 3D scan data. Every component is associated with location, condition, inspection history, photographs and replacement cost.
Asset Tree Navigation
Drill from portfolio-wide replacement cost down to the single failing transformer bushing driving it. One click. Perfect for explaining complex asset structures to non-technical stakeholders, board members and regulators.
3D digital twins and spatial intelligence
3D Digital Environment
Navigate a digital representation of a substation, treatment plant or power station and select individual assets to access their records. Understand physical relationships between assets without relying on drawing numbers or spreadsheet rows.
Photogrammetric & LiDAR Integration
Integrate LiDAR, 3D scans and photogrammetric capture of every facility. The same digital environment used for design and construction becomes a long-term asset management resource throughout the operational life of the facility.
Spatial Asset Intelligence
For linear infrastructure, organise information across geographically dispersed networks. Identify clusters of deterioration, recurring defects and climate-exposed assets in their physical context.
Condition intelligence and AI-assisted analysis
Condition-Based Asset Management
Two assets of the same age can have very different conditions. Coastal corrosion, flooding, bushfire exposure and loading history are all reflected in the asset strategy, not assumed away by age-based replacement schedules.
AI-Assisted Condition Intelligence
Reduce the manual effort of reviewing millions of inspection photographs and condition records. AI helps organise, classify and highlight patterns so asset managers focus on the assets that need engineering assessment or intervention.
Climate Risk Overlay
Flood zones, fire corridors, heat stress and coastal erosion data overlaid onto your asset portfolio. See which substations sit in flood paths, which lines traverse high-bushfire zones, and which structures face accelerated degradation.
Dynamic capital and lifecycle planning
Dynamic Forward Works Programme
Model individual components based on condition, expected deterioration and replacement cost. When a new inspection identifies significant deterioration across substation structures, the forward works program updates automatically, not as a static spreadsheet rebuilt every three years.
Scenario Modelling
Model Premium, Balanced and Must-Do funding scenarios side by side. See exactly what each service level costs and what deferral does to your renewal backlog, escalated to future dollars and ready for your LTFP, AER submission or board papers.
20-Year Capital Forecasting
Understand which assets are driving the largest replacement costs, what happens if a major program is deferred, and how an accelerated deterioration event affects the capital program. A living model, not a static plan.
Audit-ready reporting and verified outcomes
Verified Savings Ledger
Every prediction is tied to an intervention, attached evidence and a verified outcome. Your auditor can trace every dollar from board paper or AER submission back to an individual inspection photo. Independently verified, not self-attested.
Regulator-Ready Reporting
Generate condition summaries, program-by-room, program-by-asset-type and LOS summaries straight from live data, ready for IPART audits, AER revenue proposals, NAMAF assessments and board submissions.
Role-Based Access & Audit Logging
Full access for asset managers, client-scoped views for contractors, view-only for board members and auditors. Every prediction, retrain and savings entry carries a detailed audit trail. Each stakeholder sees exactly what they should.
