Requirements
- The Environment Agency approached Hydrotechnik UK Test Engineering to provide a system to monitor the hydraulic pressure of a flood plain gate when opening and closing.
- The gate opens once a month for testing and only a few times a year when heavy rainfall means the river level rises to a critical level and to avoid flooding, releasing water onto a flood plain. The remote monitoring system was required to capture the hydraulic cylinder pressures during the opening and closing for maintenance and historical data of the gate movement.
- The unit needed to connect to the cloud via a SIM card and take and log the data every 5 seconds.
Solutions
- Our Watchlog Pro cloud-based remote monitoring solution was decided upon. Using this technology, multiple sensors can be connected to the system and data can be analysed graphically online from any location.
Benefits
- Environment Agency benefit
Case Notes
Pressure
Two of our HySense PR130 series pressure sensors were installed into the hydraulic system.
