VAPAR is an infrastructure technology company helping cities, utilities, and engineering teams make better decisions about their sewer and stormwater networks. By applying artificial intelligence and computer vision to CCTV inspection footage, VAPAR turns complex, time-consuming video data into clear, consistent, and actionable engineering insight. Aging pipe networks, growing climate pressure, and constrained budgets mean asset owners are being asked to do more with less. Yet traditional CCTV inspection workflows remain slow, manual, and highly subjective, relying on hours of specialist review to translate footage into defect codes, condition grades, and renewal plans. VAPAR was founded to change this, not by replacing engineers, but by giving them better tools. VAPAR’s core product, Vapar AI, automatically analyses CCTV inspection footage to identify defects, apply industry-standard coding, and generate condition grades aligned to regional frameworks such as PACP, WSA, and NZ standards. The platform dramatically reduces the time required to review inspections while improving consistency and transparency across large datasets. Engineers remain in control, reviewing, validating, and approving outputs in minutes rather than hours. Beyond defect identification, Vapar AI connects inspection results to what matters most: decision-making. The platform supports risk-based prioritisation, repair recommendations, and investment planning by combining structural and service condition insights with asset context. Outputs are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing GIS, CMMS, ERP, and asset management systems, ensuring VAPAR complements, rather than replaces, established workflows. VAPAR works with a broad range of customers, including municipalities, water utilities, contractors, and engineering consultants across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and North America. These organisations use VAPAR to address critical challenges such as CCTV backlogs, inconsistent condition grading, reactive maintenance cycles, and limited visibility over network risk. Whether supporting proactive inspection programs, capital planning, or targeted rehabilitation, VAPAR helps teams move faster with confidence. At the heart of VAPAR’s approach is an “expert-in-the-loop” philosophy. AI accelerates the heavy lifting, but engineering judgement remains central. This balance ensures results are defensible, auditable, and trusted by stakeholders, regulators, and decision-makers. Continuous learning from real-world inspections allows the platform to improve over time, adapting to regional standards, asset types, and operational realities. Founded by engineers and technologists with firsthand experience in infrastructure delivery, VAPAR is driven by a simple mission: to empower engineers to fix pipes before they fail. By transforming how inspection data is analyzed and used, VAPAR helps infrastructure owners extend asset life, reduce risk, and invest public funds where they deliver the greatest value. | VAPAR helps utilities and councils transform pipe inspection footage into instant, actionable insights using AI. Our platform speeds up CCTV review, standardises condition grading, and delivers clear repair recommendations—helping you save time, optimise budgets, and make data-driven asset decisions.
