During spring in Canada, snow melt runoff can cause rivers to swell and inundate rail bridges and culverts. The remoteness of most of Canada rail network means zero cellular coverage making it previously difficult to monitor. EWS Iridium Devices were paired with hydrostatic level sensors to provide river monitoring and flood warning systems for remote rail bridges and culverts in Alberta, Canada.

Great Western Highway Upgrade Geotechnical Investigation, NSW, Australia
Australia’s longest road tunnel at 11kms long, this project is located near the Blue Mountains Region of NSW. When completed, the $2.5Billion project will form the main road corridor between Central Western NSW and the Sydney Region. Over 100 boreholes were drilled with some fitted with VWPs and others with monitoring wells, EWS Well-Caps and VWT devices were installed and are providing critical remote data over Iridium satellite connectivity for the geotechnical investigation.
