Monitoring on the Medway
As part of the Southern Water’s River Medway Scheme (RMS), Meteor Communications are providing Atkins with high resolution, real time water quality data; not only is this required for license purposes but it is also used directly by Atkins, Southern Water and the Environment Agency to make evidence based decisions with regards to operation of the RMS and abstraction from the Medway. Please see our project page for more information.
Rainy Season approaches
During the recent wet weather experienced in Wales and North West England Meteor’s flood monitoring camera systems have provided invaluable real time images from remote trash screens and culverts to Local Councils, Water Utilities and the Environment Agency. The cameras and secure web portal enable a more proactive, targeted response to events as they unfold on site. This means that flooding events can be mitigated at an earlier point or avoided entirely, with site personnel able to remotely assess and monitor the situation live from any web enabled device. The picture above shows a blockage in progress at a grid in the middle of the night, which would not have been detected using traditional level monitoring systems.
Meteor expands to new offices
Meteor are pleased to announce that we have moved to new offices in St Albans. Our newly refurbished facility houses our production, development and adminstration functions in a space which has been specifically designed for our continued expansion. We look forward to welcoming you here soon.
