TECHNOLOGICAL INITIATIVES

SLA actively leverages on technology, geospatial information and analytics for better decision-making and service delivery in the management of State Land and Properties.

In line with the drive towards a Smart Nation, SLA is at the forefront of exploring, testing and implementing cutting-edge technology, with the goal of enhancing operational efficiency and productivity. Here are some of our technological initiatives.

SMARTLAMD

The application enables our officers to perform site inspections efficiently, receive and respond to feedback from the public, view spatial layers and Standard Operating Procedures on the go.

CONTRACTOR’S APP

 

The application allows our contractors to prepare and submit detailed service reports efficiently and in adherence to best practices via built-in controls. This allows our officers to review and manage works done by our contractors efficiently.

SMART UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES ENHANCED (SUAVE) – MAINLAND SINGAPORE

 

Operationalised in January 2018 to inspect State land and properties, images captured from UAVs are analysed using advanced image analytics to automatically detect issues that require follow up, such as building defects, debris and water-ponding. 

This saves time and eliminates safety risks for officers conducting physical inspections at possibly inaccessible and dangerous sites.

 

SMART UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES ENHANCED (SUAVE) – OFFSHORE ISLANDS

 

Fully automated UAVs which fly using pre-planned waypoints and predefined flight schedules are able to capture real-time images and videos which can be analysed to detect maintenance issues.

 

The trial has been completed and SLA is working with CAAS and MOT to implement the system.

 

 

REMOTE UTILITIES MONITORING (RUM)

 

SLA manages several offshore islands which do not have direct supply of utilities.

 

RUM uses smart meters to actively monitor utilities supply and consumption rate, thereby eliminating the need for officers to travel between islands to check on the water and diesel levels manually. The monitoring function not only sends replenishment alerts, but also allows SLA to discern normal usage from wastage at the various endpoints where the smart meters are deployed.
