Biography summary
Dr Jinzhe (James) Gong is passionate about solving pressing issues in the water industry through innovation. His key research interests and expertise include Smart Water Network design and data analytics, leak and burst management in water distribution systems, and health monitoring and condition assessment of civil infrastructure. James is currently a Senior Lecturer in Water Engineering at Deakin University (Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus).
Prior to joining Deakin University, James worked as a Data Analytics Engineer in South Australian Water Corporation (SA Water) for the Adelaide City Smart Water Network project, and a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide. His work in SA Water has contributed to a 50% reduction in the pipe break rate in the Adelaide city water network. One of his research outcomes – a hydraulic transient-based pipe wall condition screening tool – has been successfully commercialised through a business partner under the trademark of p-CAT.
James completed his PhD in Water Engineering at the University of Adelaide in 2014. He also holds a master's and a bachelor's degree in Applied Geophysics.
Career highlights
Development and implementation of a pipe break early warning system for water distribution systems
Dr Gong worked as a Smart Water Data Analytics Engineer in South Australian Water Corporation (on secondment from University of Adelaide) from 2017 to 2019. He initiated the research collaboration between University of Adelaide and SA Water on the research theme of Smart Water, and contributed to the operation and R&D of the Adelaide CBD Smart Water Network. Dr Gong has developed techniques (together with researchers from University of Adelaide and engineers from SA Water) to detect emerging through-wall pipe cracks/leaks for pipe break early warning using IoT-based permanent acoustic monitoring. This work has resulted in a 50% reduction in the pipe break rate of the Adelaide CBD water distribution system. His Ozwater’18 conference paper Leak Detection in the Adelaide CBD Water Network has been selected as one of the top papers by the Australian Water Association.
Development and commercialisation of a pipeline condition assessment technology
Dr Gong was a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide from 2014 to 2019. He has developed (together with researchers at University of Adelaide) a patented technology on pipeline condition assessment using controlled transient pressure waves (water hammer). The technology has been commercialised through an industry partner under the trade mark of p-CAT, and it is a tool for cost-effective screening of the pipeline condition for long-distance water transmission mains. In addition to the detection of pipe sections with wall deterioration, it can also detect blockages, air pockets, pipe material or class changes, and unregistered connections. The company was awarded the TRILITY Planning & Delivery Award for this pipeline condition assessment technology at the 2016 Smart Water Awards in South Australia. This work represented the University of Adelaide for the Engineering field (FoR code 09) in the Australian Research Council’s 2018 Engagement and Impact assessment, and has achieved the maximum High score across all measures.
