Dam Monitoring
EmbankNET is a complete dam monitoring system primarily for Earthen dams. Multiple QuB Remote Stations are installed to acquire data about soil and rock behavior such as settlement, lateral displacement, consolidation, ground water level, etc.
Our Installed dam monitoring systems employ Eyasco's Earth QuBs. Most stations are solar powered with wireless communications, designed to gather and transmit data of soil and rock behavior. These include parameters such as: settlement, lateral displacement, consolidation and ground water levels, etc.
Sensors employed can include vibrating wire transducers as well as piezometers, inclinometers, extensometers, strain gages and meteorological sensors to name a few.
Digital camera systems are also a highly requested QuB option on most dam monitoring systems that provide real-time viewing, photo documentation and historical time-line images.
Earth QuB - Host type communication configuration.
Data Display and Reporting
The integrated Merlin software system provides real time QA/QC, advanced notification of out of compliance readings and data gaps, and the ability to annotate data for export or presentation. Standard reports include time history, and offset from baseline reading over any date range. Reports are developed using SQL Server Reporting Services, so even custom reports can be developed in-house with standard database query and formatting skills.
Benefits and Features:
• Modular for scalability and value
• Autonomous monitoring and control
• Low power components
• Appropriate for any sensor technology
• Built in memory for data storage
• Remote communication via
Radio/Cellular/Satellite telemetry
• Vandal resistant stainless waterproof enclosures
• Integrated web-based display and reporting
Earth QuB are installed on and around dams:
Many Installed dam monitoring systems employ Eyasco's digital cameras. These offer visual surveillance for spillways, intake, crest, abutment, dam face, crest, toe, outlet and surrounding areas. Cameras can be installed on QuB stations or stand-alone providing real-time, PTZ viewing, night vision, photo documentation and historical time-line images.
