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.

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.
