For Councils and Critical Infrastructure
Flood events are becoming more frequent, more localised, and harder to predict. Councils and infrastructure operators need timely, reliable visibility of surface water behaviour across rivers, stormwater networks, culverts, and flood-prone roads — not just at a handful of permanent gauges.
HiLo provides a turnkey flood monitoring solution designed for rapid deployment, wide spatial coverage, and reliable early warning across surface water assets.
Traditional flood warning networks have been built around a small number of permanent river gauges. While these remain essential, they are often slow and expensive to deploy and are not suited to dense coverage across entire catchments.
As a result, many flood impacts occur:
These gaps limit situational awareness during fast-moving events and reduce the effectiveness of response and recovery.
HiLo is designed to complement, not replace, traditional flood gauges.
Our systems are used where permanent gauging infrastructure is impractical, too slow to deploy, or too costly to scale. This allows councils and asset owners to increase monitoring coverage quickly, improving visibility in locations that were previously unmonitored.
This approach aligns with guidance from government agencies encouraging alternative flood warning infrastructure to strengthen flood resilience and improve early warning capability.
HiLo flood monitoring systems are used across a wide range of surface water applications, including:
Across these use cases, the common requirement is fast deployment, minimal maintenance, and reliable data during rapidly changing conditions.
HiLo provides an end-to-end flood monitoring system that combines:
This integrated approach allows organisations to move from planning to live monitoring quickly, without complex system integration or specialist installation.
HiLo is simple enough to deploy at a single high-risk location, yet robust enough to support regional and state-wide monitoring networks.
Organisations use HiLo for:
Data can be accessed through the HiLo platform or integrated into existing systems, including modern data platforms and private SCADA networks.
HiLo flood monitoring systems are trusted by councils and infrastructure operators across New Zealand and Australia, including deployments supporting:
This experience has shaped a solution designed for real-world conditions, operational use, and long-term deployment.
