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.

Four large TSF's in Australia's Northern Territory and Northern Queensland area retrofitted 1000's of vibrating wire piezometer sensors with EWS' Iridium VWT devices to replace the unreliable radio datalogger networks previously installed. The upgrade provided the TSF's with the easy to install devices which transmit individually over the Iridium Satellite network, removing the risk of single point failure. The increased reliability and visibility of critical geotechnical data relating to the TSF assists the mine in meeting its GISTM obligations.
