GEONICA, S.A. products

The experience GEONICA has gained since 1974 in the design and manufacture of Remote Environmental Data Measuring and Transmission Stations, together with the great developments in telematic communications and the Internet, has enabled us to develop a Measuring, Transmission and Diffusion System for Meteorological and Hydrological Data, and any other environmental parameter, in quasi-real time with «universal» coverage, with no more limitations than those imposed by the determinants for accessing the Internet. The information is transmitted from the remote automatic measuring stations type METEODATA/HYDRODATA 3000C to a Central Station in which is allocated the GEONICA`s WEBTRANS Platform. This Platform allows Universal data access via INTERNET to all external users or customers who contract this efficient data service.

The RainAlert System has been designed by GEONICA to provide a solution to one of the most frequent emergency situations in many cities and urban or even rural areas, where, due to the orography of the terrain, there exists a high risk of suffering floods caused by heavy rains. The RainAlert System is made up by a precipitation measurement network in the headwaters of the basins, combined with the measurement of the water level and flow discharge monitoring of rivers at several strategic points of the area`s rivers, using for this purpose a specific number of Remote Measurement Stations, either Pluviometric, Hydrometric, or Mixed.

AQUALERT is a Water Quality Monitoring System, specifically designed for the Measurement, Data Recording and Alarm Transmission in real time, which allows the continuous surveillance of all water quality parameters (physicochemical, biochemical, hydrocarbons) in surface or underground waters, as well as the measurement of water level in dams, rivers, channels, wells and aquifers.

The Safe Road System has been specifically designed by GEONICA with the aim of offering advanced solutions for increased road safety, integrating an entire series of new technologies covering the measurement, process, transmission and spreading of environmental data that can be of such significant influence on the safety of vehicles in motion. The safe Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) likewise incorporates diverse types of traffic detectors, classifiers, counters and speed meters for vehicles, these being of tremendous utility for the authorities and those responsible for road and motorway management and conservation.

The Road Traffic Monitoring System has been designed basically for allowing the road Traffic Authorities to obtain, in real time, and at a very reasonable cost, very valuable information about vehicles traffic, such as Vehicle Counting, Average Speed Assessment, Individual Speed, Length classification, Presence Detection, Occupancy and Headway, Time Gap Measurement, etc.

Maritime ports for commercial, fishing and water sports purposes play an important role of great economic importance in the development of a country. For this reason, port management should always seek the highest levels of safety and effectiveness.

The new model DATAMAR-2000C RADAR TIDE GAUGE designed by GEONICA, based on the latest electronic technology, is the ideal solution for measuring, recording and transmitting tide level data, not only due to its exceptional features and advanced technical characteristics for tidal networks, but also due to its great versatility and low cost.

The WaveAlert System has been designed by GEONICA for sea waves and currents monitoring in sea ports and coastal areas in different applications, be it for coastal oceanographic studies or for providing information on the sea conditions to building companies during the construction of ports, docks, piers, etc., as well as to major oil or liquefied gas tankers, in order to contribute to their safety during the dangerous
unloading works.

The Airport Automatic Weather Observation Systems (AWOS system) deals with measuring all the meteorological parameters and meteorological instrumentation of airports and aerodromes, providing data already processed to the Meteorological Center for distributing them to the aircraft pilots and Authorities responsible for air traffic safety, using different communication ways.

The Noise Monitoring System ( NMS ) is a versatile network solution for continuous permanent or semi-permanent monitoring of environmental noise from airports, industries, roads, etc. and in high noise sites ( hot spot points ) , or in very quiet areas where noise may be a major concern.
