Printer-Friendly VersionOne of our valued partners in Bulgaria, Sigma Ltd, was recently contacted about a project in the Silistra Province to provide instrumentation for infrastructure monitoring and a new rollout of an early warning program for floods and droughts.
It was specified that the solution must provide operations functionality for locations without power supply from the grid, measured and forecasted water level, visual monitoring, and early warning and alert management.
The main objective of this project was to provide the best water level prediction system and install the relevant smart alarms and early warnings for three dams so that users may take appropriate actions and optimize water infrastructure management decisions.
The low-powered dBi intelligent transducer range was selected to be offered as part of an OEM solution. Combined with a low-powered RTU logging device, the dBi range can measure the water level at extremely low power consumption, which was a key specification for the municipality.
Monitoring the water level allowed the municipality to predict water levels and gain early flood warnings, ultimately resulting in reduced time for a reaction to critical events; meaning overall water infrastructure safety for the province was greatly improved.
