Taiwan Power Company- Slope monitoring

Eyasco developed and installed an automated slope monitoring system for use at a critical electrical generating facility in Taiwan. Eyasco designed and programmed the data acquisition system and real-time interface for rain gages, piezometers (to measure ground water level), in-place inclinometers and strain gages for monitoring a steep slope above a power house. The data collected from all the monitoring devices was tied into the power house control and alarm system to provide early warning in the event of a slope movement.

Tanker Tracking and Security

EYASCO designed and constructed a system to monitor water tanker security and water quality for drinking water collected from remote spring sites. This system tracks water from its source to the bottling plant and measures water quality in real-time. The monitoring system is used to qualify water for delivery and subsequent bottling. This system employs state-of-the-art data telemetry and RFID technology in a mission-critical application that protects and tracks millions of dollars worth of commodity. Due to its potential to interrupt the supply-chain, the monitoring system had to be 100% reliable, produce no "false alarms", and communicate with users via local area networks as well as the Internet.

Big Springs Temperature Monitoring

Five remote data stations are installed on the Shasta Big Springs Ranch, which is located in Northern California between the city of Weed and the Oregon border. These stations currently monitor water temperature; one station also monitors air temperature. Three water temperature loggers are deployed in Big Springs Creek, a tributary to the Shasta River and the location of restoration activities that focus on supporting anadromous salmonids species, particularly rearing juvenile coho salmon. Two water temperature stations are located in an irrigation canal which can divert unused water supplies back into Big Springs Creek. These remote temperature sensors enable ranch managers to compare the temperature of the irrigation water to the creek water and decide whether returning unused irrigation water would impair thermal conditions in the creek. As anadromous salmonids are sensitive to water temperature, keeping water temperatures within specified guidelines is critical to ensuring the recovery of these species.
