GOES SATELLITE DAM SAFETY MONITORING
Integrating with Existing Networks

  • Sutron began working with New England District, COE (NAE) in early 2005 on geotechnical applications.
  • NAE has responsibility for 31 flood control dams in CT, MA, NH & VT, therefore they engaged Sutron for the following:
  • Develop automated instrumentation systems to reliably collect and transmit performance data
  • Make use of the existing communications infrastructure (primarily GOES Satellite)
  • Use as much of the existing instrumentation (primarily vibrating wire piezometers) as possible

  • Sutron's Xpert Datalogger interfaces with Existing Vibrating Wire Piezometer Networks including the following equipment
  • Piezometers, Canary Minimux, Geocon 98020
  • Strong motion instruments
  • Crest survey monuments
  • Tilt plates
  • Inclinometeres
  • Other instruments to adequately monitor embankment performance
