Dam Safety Monitoring, NSW, Australia
EWS supplied Iridium satellite devices to various dams in NSW to monitor both geotechnical and hydrometric parameters. EWS VWT devices were installed to read and transmit data from vibrating wire piezometers around the dam catchment and EMT devices were installed to monitor water levels both upstream and downstream. The remote locations of the dams had previously prevented the operators from implementing effective monitoring systems, with EWS devices Iridium satellite connectivity this problem was easily solved.
Geotechnical Monitoring of remote Silver and Zinc mine, Peru
EWS Devices were deployed across a remote open pit gold mine in Peru to provide connectivity to geotechnical data where no cellular coverage was available. Iridium VWT devices were connected to vibrating wire piezometers to log and transmit soil pore pressure data and the EWS Well-Cap was installed on groundwater bores across the mine to log and transmit groundwater level data. The devices provide improved visibility of data that impacts operational efficiency and removes the need for lengthy and dangerous field visits by mine workers.
