| Until
recently, the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead had no central flood
warning system and relied upon operators calling various remote stations by
telephone if they suspected a flood risk, whereupon a robotic voice would report
on the status of the water level. Now with systems installed by
Alphr Telemetry water levels are constantly
monitored and information automatically transmitted to a central control room
within the Borough.
|
Alphr's ultra-reliable
Landmark product is the hub of the system. The
Landmark outstations consist of radio transmitters with antenna, solar panels
transmitting to a receiver unit hooked up to a standard desktop PC. The PC is running Alphr's own Scada software which
provides all the necessary data to monitor watercourses, underpasses, roads and
so on to help keep them protected from inundation, or adverse rainfall.

"The Borough were so pleased with the initial system, with
the advice and value for money that we received from Alphr
Telemetry that we commissioned them to install alarm systems in all of
our underpasses. " said George Wells - Land Drainage Engineer for the
Royal Borough. | |
