River & Flood Gauging Stations with Integrated Stilling Tubes

River Flood Gauge with Integrated Stilling Tube with Real-Time Data Feeds

Unique to Radio Data Networks, this gauging station is perfect for use in applications in public areas or where flow is turbulent and a real-time upload of data is required, such as for the generation of flood warnings or the control of smart catchments.

Gauging & Flood Station Housed within GRP Stilling Tube

Supplied complete with an integrated MCETRS certified Vegapulse C21 radar it features industry leading accuracy. Optionally in areas protected from frost and ice, a single or dual hydrostatic pressure transducer/s may alterantively be supplied.

Gauging Station with optional Staff Gauge Board

For clarity, this station is not a data logger. Instead, it is a real-time telemetry system with the choice of cellular or Iridium satellite upload for this many “not-spots” around the globe. The gauge can also be supplied with local radio telemetry on RDN’s Ofcom licenced radio channel for the purpose of local control of assets such as tilting weirs.
