New Wireless Water Quality Monitoring System Launched
to help businesses address regulatory requirements such as the UK Environment Act 2021.Regulatory requirements and especially the UK’s Environment Act 2021 (EA21) mandate frequent water quality data uploads. The EM-2Q is designed for this and can be deployed across a range of settings, including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and coastal waters, offering the accuracy and resilience needed for effective monitoring on a large scale.The EM-2Q is fully submerged and requires no cables for data retrieval. Wireless communication eliminates the need for fixed infrastructure on the riverbank or shore substantially
CSignum, ANB Sensors Target Water Quality Monitoring Innovation
to reach environments.ANB’s sensors provide precise measurements of key parameters such as pH, temperature, and conductivity. The CSignum EM-2 solution wirelessly transmits sensor data from beneath the water to the topside without the need for a permanently wired equipment installation on the riverbank or shore.
Storm Geomatics Completes Wide Swath Bathymetric River Aire Survey
of the river Aire.The 250m stretch of the River Aire surveyed comprised of Newlay Weir, the riverbanks, foreshore, and flood defenses and was surveyed with no issues due to the USV’s shallow draft and the Geoswath interferometric sonar’s wide swath, which was able to efficiently survey the river bank-to-bank.A topographic survey was also completed to establish the geometry of the riverbank, foreshore, flood embankments, walls and ground behind the defences. For this part of the work Storm used a combination of the SL40 USV and traditional survey techniques, with a total station capturing
China Deploys USV to Monitor Water Quality
To detect sudden water pollution outbreak of the city’s mother river in time, the government department of Zhengjia city, a coastal city of China, introduced unmanned surface vehicle to their water monitoring routine to timely find out and restrain all illegal sewage discharge from companies alongside the riverbank.Deployed with a total phosphorus flow injection analyzer, a ME120 autonomous multi-purpose survey boat from OceanAlpha was utilized as a mobile on-line monitoring USV to monitor a designate river section.From 10 am to 5 pm on August 7th, 2019, the USV conducted the mobile total
CAOMM Wins Concrete Mattress Scope
utilizing the MDS3 Multi Mattress Deployment System from sister company Offshore Marine Management’s (OMM).he contract, due to be delivered in the first quarter of 2019, covers the installation of 12,000 concrete mattresses, manufactured by ULO themselves, to minimize erosion by protecting a river bank on-site at a Nuclear Plant in a rural area of Bangladesh. The supply of the MDS3 system will be supported by specialist personnel provided by another sister company, Offshore Marine People & Academy (OMPA).The MDS3 system most recently completed a mattress installation to protect subsea cable
Chicago Electric Fish Barrier Safety Analysed
address the risks posed by the barrier’s electrified waters. The electric fish barrier system in the CSSC was built and is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to limit the spread of various aquatic invasive species, including Asian carp, between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. Coast Guard regulations prescribe operating rules and guidance for commercial and recreational mariners transiting the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. The study found that existing regulations substantially mitigate the risks associated with the barrier. While the total risk
