Bradford Metropolitan Council case study

Bradford Metropolitan Borough Council, 2005 - 2006
Installation of a tipping bucket rain gauge and telemetry system

Hydro-Logic was contracted by BMBC to supply and install a rainfall telemetry system for real-time monitoring including intensity alarm management for an urbanised catchment mainly in Keighley, Yorkshire as part of an Urban Flooding Research Study.

The network of 16 tipping bucket rain gauges comprised a Hawk XT GSM outstation connected to a Casella T/B rain gauge, with the telemetry equipment fitted inside roadside-style bollards. The Isodaq IDQTel polling and alarm management system was provided to collect data daily and to manage storm intensity alarms, with data archived using the HydroLog4 system.
