EWS VWT Devices were deployed at a site near San Diego, California to log and transmit data from vibrating wire piezometers over the Iridium satellite network. The area had poor cellular coverage and data was critical for near real-time monitoring of soil pore pressure values that directly impacted the slope stability.

Flood Warning Systems, Pilbara, Western Australia
Rivers and weather events in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (WA) are extreme. Battling with streamflow networks that can take out entire roads & rail coupled with daily rainfall events which can range from 20mm-+100mm in the wet season, reliable early warning systems are critical for mine site operation and safety. Numerous water level monitoring sites were installed on reactive tributaries utilising the EWS Iridium Satellite connected devices. Additional Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges were installed in surrounding areas to provide more accurate and localised meteorological information to customers.
Major Iron Ore Arterial Rail Slope Stability Monitoring, Minas Gerais, Brazil
EWS' Iridium Satellite Telemetry Tilt Meters were deployed to monitor slope stability on sections of remote rail infrastructure along Brazil's largest mining company's rail line. The telemetry tilt meter devices are providing slope stability data from areas far outside of cellular coverage and provide are integrated with the mine companies central monitoring hub.
