- For TfNSW, I investigated and eliminated all incidences of unknown culvert size and length in RAMS culvert data, on all roads except M1 Motorway. This has significantly improved the data integrity of TfNSW's digital assets, provided increased value and efficiency to internal stakeholders and benefited culvert inspections contractors in future years.
