Monitoring
River and Flood Warning Telemetry – Licenced Radio Telemetry or LEO Satellite based without SIM Cards or Cellular Coverage. Proven in service by the EA, Utilities and across the Industrial Sectors.
Our flood warning systems have the ability to detect and report all five sources of flooding and operate over an exclusive secure radio telemetry band operating under an exclusive Ofcom licence.
Surface Water Flooding:
River Flooding:
Groundwater Flooding:
Sewer Flooding/ Sewer Surcharges:
Burst Pipe Flooding:
Key Features:
- Solid state flood detection technology without moving parts
- Long Battery Life up to 10-years (version dependant)
- Electronics sealed to > IP68
- Discrete compact bollard housing available in a variety of colours and finishes
- Unlimited number of flood detection points / locations
- Operating radius 300m to 10Km version dependant for Licenced Radio or Unlimited for LEO Satellite
- Fully compatible with BDT Blocked Sewer and CSO Spill detection system which can detect flood waters attempting to bypass flood defences through the drains and sewers.
- Unique secure data protocol with 32-bit (4-billion) address and 16-bit error check sum.
- Utility Gateway provides simple interface to existing telemetry and alarm systems (no software required)
- Optional Ofcom protected radio spectrum (used for non-satellite systems)
- Bollard measures 600mm tall, 280mm diameter up to 300mm (max) diameter.
- Mounting stake galvanised steel
- Ability to interface directly to wide area paging systems or PSTN voice dialling systems
- Able to interface with GSM & SMS reporting system (not our preferred option)
- Coverage area extendable by using repeaters to cover entire cities.
- CE, R&TTE, RE-D and EN-300-220-1 Compliant Design
What Else Can our Flood Alarms Do?
- Switch and control pumps
- Activate flow diversion valves
- Activate and drive sirens
- Activate GSM/SMS messages
- Activate wide area or on-site paging systems
- Activate existing alarm systems
- Interface with telephone dial systems
- Interface with Scanning Telemetry
- Interface with rain gauges to permit early warnings
Unique BDT Flood Level Sensor:
Now with over 10-years service history the BDT is now the widest adopted micro-power solid state water / flood level sensor in the UK, if not the world.
Early Warning Systems
Supplied to a variety of clients including the UK’s Environment Agency these beacons can be supplied with standard LED beacons or high intensity long range ship’s beacons with an optical range of up to one nautical mile.
The evacuation beacons can be supplied complete with integrated solar charging, controls and one- and two-way radio telemetry. With two-way radio telemetry the beacons can be configured to auto-report their status back to a Satellite or Radio Telemetry Gateway via which the state of charge, vandalism of the solar panels and the on/off, lamp failure can be monitored. With Radio Telemetry Gateways alarms are supplied as simple volt-free contacts enabling interface with existing on site alarms, BMS systems and SCADA.
The units in the picture below are house in an environmental toughened and air-rifle bullet proof, stainless-steel enclosure specifically designed to mount on top of a standard CCTV tower mount.
Telemetry
LEO Satellite based telemetry solution for river level monitoring – Without coverage blackspots and not dependant upon having a local ground station or cellular mast.
We offer a range of remote bespoke monitoring solutions for rivers and streams that can deliver level / flow and even temperature data in real-time from absolutely anywhere to anywhere. Gone is the need for mains power, telephone connections or cellular coverage as our LEO based satellite solution is 100% independent and does not need any form of terrestrial network.
The only deployment requirement is that the unit can see clear sky and that is it, all thanks to the Iridium LEO satellite network. Power is not an issue as units can be manufactured to operate from solar, solar + wind or just batteries.
Power Options:
- Mains
- Battery
- Solar + Battery
- Solar + Wind + Battery
- Lithium Battery
Sensors can be 4-20mA, SDI-12 or voltage, plus there is support for two sensors for dual redundant systems, where under normal conditions readings should track, but with a faulty sensor the readings could diverge.
Sensors:
- 4-20mA
- 0-2V
- 0-10V
- SDI-12
- Systems can be housed in simple kiosks, bollards or boxes for affixing to railings.
- Mounting Options:
- Bollards
- Kiosks
- Railing mounted wall boxes
- Covert Bird Houses
