Awards

Spatial Infrastructure Award

The Tonkin Spatial team recently received the 2006 Spatial Excellence Award, taking out the Infrastructure category. Each year, the awards recognise and acknowledge excellence in the growing spatial information industry in South Australia.

The team won the award for its application of SIS to water management projects. Our entry outlined two significant infrastructure projects undertaken by Tonkin Consulting in this field as an illustration of the way in which Spatial Information System software is widely utilised within the Practice. The first case study outlined the application of MapInfo Professional in conjunction with the hydraulic modelling package TUFLOW, to examine the impact of urban consolidation and redevelopment on runoff, and the need for councils to upgrade stormwater drainage networks. The second case study described how MapInfo Professional had been extensively utilised within the $600 million Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Project.  Both case studies demonstrated the innovative and widespread application of SIS within Tonkin Consulting in an engineering environment.

Tonkin Consulting is well known in SA for its water, environment and civil infrastructure projects. The Tonkin Spatial team has been developing expertise in spatial solutions for over 15 years, applying innovative solutions in support of these projects with great success. We are sure that receiving the 2006 Spatial Excellence Award will spur Tonkin Spatial on to greater achievements.
