For decades, anyone needing to monitor water quality would purchase equipment to measure the parameters of interest. Today, Meteor Communications has challenged that model with their ‘Water Quality as a Service’ (WQaaS) solution. “Ultimately, people monitor water quality because they need data,” explains Meteor’s MD Matt Dibbs. “So, we would happily sell them water quality […]
If water samples are taken from a river at 9am on consecutive days, it is reasonable to be able to directly compare analytical results, unless the water at the sampling location is tidal. This is because water quality is heavily affected by the state of the tide, which presents a significant monitoring challenge in the […]
The Environment Agency has awarded a 4-year contract to Meteor Communications for the provision of telemetry systems, services and MeteorCloud data hosting for water quality monitoring systems located in English rivers and bathing waters. The contract was awarded on 7th June 2019 and ensures continuity of data from around 250 real-time water quality monitoring outstations. […]
Following the recent major flood incident at Wainfleet on the River Steeping Meteor technology has been in action to assist with ongoing management of the remediation works. MCE-MRC 3G cameras have been deployed to monitor the breach location whilst three MCE-ESNET2 Water Quality monitoring systems are in place to assess the river and surrounding channels. […]
The Environment Agency (EA) has awarded a multi-year contract worth up to £2M to Meteor Communications for the supply of up to 800 remote camera systems. The cameras will build on an existing network of over 450 Meteor cameras that have been installed across the country over the last 4 years, monitoring critical flood infrastructure […]
Meteor have recently completed the installation of a MCE-MRC camera network at the Environment Agency’s Flood Alleviation scheme at Clay’s Lake. Six cameras monitor the scheme’s critical infrastructure, returning high quality images in real time. The cameras provide verification that the remote infrastructure is operating correctly, with Flood Defence Officers able to view the images […]
Meteor are delighted to welcome Chris Kaye to the team as Business Development Manager for the Drainage Authority Sector. This is a new post created specifically to handle the growing demand from Drainage Boards, Local Authorities and Utilities all requiring visibility of remote infrastructure such as flood channels, trash screens, storm culverts, pump stations, weir […]
To support Meteor’s commitment to Sustainability and renewable energy the offices at St Albans have recently been fitted with a 10.5kW Solar PV system. This should generate enough power to keep the offices and workshop powered for over 50% of the year, and will reduce Meteor’s CO2 emissions by over 6 tonnes per year. Thanks […]
Meteor will be live on Stand 10 at WWEM 2018 with the UK’s most extensive integrated, real time water quality network. On display will be the complete range of ESNET monitoring stations, systems and services which support some of the UK’s largest utilities, Government Agencies and Consultancies with collection of high resolution, high quality data […]
