Water Flow Monitoring Service - FAQs
What is the difference between open channel and closed pipe flow monitoring?
Open channel flow monitoring involves measuring water flow in partially filled pipes or culverts. Closed pipe flow monitoring measures flow in fully filled pipes under pressure.
How often should sewer flow surveys be conducted?
The frequency depends on various factors, including network age, condition, and regulatory requirements. Generally, we recommend surveys every 3-5 years or more frequently in problematic areas.
Can you provide temporary flow monitoring equipment for short-term projects?
Yes, we offer equipment hire services for short-term flow monitoring needs. Our team can help set up and maintain the equipment for the duration of your project.
How do you ensure the accuracy of your flow monitoring data?
We use calibrated, high-quality equipment and follow industry best practices. Our team regularly checks and maintains our instruments to ensure consistent accuracy.
What types of reports do you provide for water flow monitoring projects?
Our team offer customised reports tailored to each client’s needs. These typically include raw data, analysed results, graphs, and expert interpretations of the findings.
How can flow monitoring help with environmental compliance?
Flow monitoring provides data on water usage, discharges, and pollution events. This information helps organisations demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations and identify areas for improvement.
