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.

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.

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.
