Airport weather station Floodalert

Icelert, FloodAlert and WindAlert are market leading weather monitoring, data collection and display systems which are utilised around the world. These systems allow users to make better decisions which can save lives and also deliver significant cost savings to Road Network Operators. There is a growing concern that local authorities risk being challenged if they are not seen to be managing known flooding black spot sites. This unique system can not only help authorities to manage flooding black spots more effectively during flood events but can also be thought of as an insurance policy in a growing litigious culture. Floodalert Solutions Local authorities will often have a number of known flood-prone areas on their network. Some authorities currently manage these sites reactively, relying on police reports to trigger deployment of flood warning signs. In this case, the flooding has already occurred before signs are deployed or the road is closed. Removal of the signs is often delayed as authorities are not instantly aware when the water has receded to a safe level. This delay can lead to motorists disbelieving warning signs and attempting to drive through water, becoming stuck. FloodAlert from Findlay Irvine can counter this problem by giving Network Operators and Flood Risk Teams advance warning of a site beginning to flood, ensuring that local residents and road users are warned in advance as well as allowing safety measures to be quickly implemented before the water level rises too far. FloodAlert provides road side sensors which monitor water height at sites known to flood regularly.
