Rail Culvert Flood Warning, Northern Territory, Australia

One of Australia’s largest rail operators required flood warning on 100 low-lying culverts across it’s network.  The compact Iridium EWS-EMT devices paired with hydrostatic level sensors allowed un-matched scalability and enabled this mega project to be completed within 8 weeks where alternative technology would have taken years.

These sites will provide rail operators with remote data on culvert water levels with alert triggers for flood events from areas with zero cellular coverage.

Rail Flood Monitoring, Alberta, Canada

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.

Argyle Diamond Mine Surface Water Monitoring, Western Australia

Mine site operation and closure is contingent on a large amount of environmental monitoring to ensure regulatory compliance and minimise the overall human impact on surrounding areas/ecosystems. In this particular example, Remote Surface Water Monitoring was contracted to EWS Australia for the extent of closure operations (5 years) and long-term (10 years) into the overall maintenance phase following the mines successful closure.
