Client case study · Roads and Highways Department · Flood damage assessment

From flood damage in the field to a location-aware road response record.

Roads and Highways Department teams can use Skyhawk to collect photographs and structured flood-damage updates against the relevant road, chainage and GPS context, creating a clearer basis for review and response coordination.

Turn a roadside observation into a record that can be acted on.

During flood conditions, road damage and access constraints can emerge across a dispersed network. Field teams need a fast way to document what they see, while supervisors need enough location and evidence context to understand the reported condition, prioritize attention and coordinate an appropriate response.

Challenge

Make fast field updates specific enough for a road-network decision.

01

Dispersed road conditions

Flood-related impacts may be reported from many road sections, often while access and conditions are changing.

02

Ambiguous location descriptions

A photograph or message without a road, chainage or location context can be difficult to review and act upon quickly.

03

Evidence under pressure

Response managers need reliable field context without making reporting burdensome for teams working in difficult weather.

Solution

A Skyhawk workflow for location-aware flood-damage reporting.

Skyhawk gives field teams one structured submission for the road condition they observe. Tiger One makes the resulting records available for supervisory review, prioritisation and coordinated follow-up.

01

Road-referenced capture

Skyhawk can associate a field report with the relevant road and its chainage reference, helping reviewers understand where the reported condition sits on the network.

02

Photo evidence

Field teams can attach photographs to document the observed condition and provide useful context for supervisory review.

03

GPS context

A GPS capture can support the location record, helping validate that an update relates to the reported road section without relying on an informal description alone.

04

Structured damage reporting

Consistent forms guide teams to record the type of flood-related condition, observed impact and recommended follow-up in a usable format.

05

Review and prioritisation

Submitted updates can be reviewed by responsible teams so urgent situations and follow-up needs are visible in one operational queue.

06

Response record

Skyhawk field reports can support a traceable pathway from observation to review, action planning and later reporting.

The advantage

A clearer connection between what a team sees and what the network needs next.

More useful field evidence

Photos, road references, chainage and GPS context help make an update more useful than an isolated image or message.

Faster supervisory understanding

Reviewers can see the reported condition alongside its structured location context, helping them assess what needs attention.

A defensible response trail

Recorded submissions, review status and follow-up actions provide a traceable operational pathway from field observation to coordination.

Operational road data stays out of the public story.

The public case study excludes all live operational details, including road identities, precise chainage values, GPS coordinates, field photographs, damage severity, accessibility status, response assignments, personnel information and internal reporting outputs.
