Operational challenge

Water can rise between inspections. Useful monitoring needs a known measurement reference, clear sensing path and agreed response thresholds.

What we monitor

Water-surface distance

Non-contact radar measurement from the installed sensor.

Level trend

Recorded readings for reviewing changes over time.

Warning / danger conditions

Events based on configured thresholds.

Battery condition

Supporting voltage records.

Communication health

Signal and status information from the monitoring station.

How the system works

Monitoring hub, radar sensor and connected leads above a water channel; equipment label redacted
Field setup: radar measurement and wireless reporting hardware above the channel.

  1. Field sensing

    Mount radar above the water surface.

  2. Wireless reporting

    Measure distance against the site reference.

  3. Monitoring platform

    Transmit readings wirelessly.

  4. Alert & response

    Review history and threshold conditions.

  5. Operational verification

    Route mobile alerts for field response.

Field validation

Site pilotNext acceptance step
  • Proof of concept completed: Supplied photographs show practical radar mounting and measurement checks.
  • Sensor and station: Field images show the sensing head, bracket, cabling and monitoring hub.
  • Next acceptance step: Validate measurements and alerts against site reference conditions.

Flood forecasting, warning lead time and a completed flood-response deployment are not established by this evidence.

Radar mounting: bracket stability and a clear measurement path matter.

Engineering and reliability considerations

Set the reference

Relate sensor distance to water level using the mounting height and site geometry.

Check the sensing path

Assess nearby structures and the narrow-beam mounting arrangement.

Agree thresholds

Link warning and danger levels to a specific operational action.

Verify delivery

Test measurement, history, threshold events and notification receipt.

Technical highlights

Review the documented configuration and its deployment limits.

View specifications and configuration notes
  • Non-contact radar level measurement.
  • Documented maximum sensing distance of 30 m and a 3° beam angle.
  • Chemical- and corrosion-resistant sensor housing specification.
  • Wireless mobile-network reporting.
  • Replaceable 7.2 V / 19,000 mAh battery in the documented metal-series configuration.
  • IP65 monitoring-station enclosure specification and documented 0–60°C operating range.
  • Level-history dashboard and configured threshold notifications.

Maximum range is a sensor specification; usable site performance must be confirmed during commissioning.

Deployment process

  1. Survey & install

    Check geometry and radar mounting.

  2. Register & baseline

    Set reference, battery and signal.

  3. Controlled test

    Compare with reference conditions.

  4. Tune & verify

    Check warning levels and notifications.

  5. Report & scale

    Review pilot evidence before expansion.
