Monitoring the water levels beneath bridges is important, especially during heavy rainfall, when rising rivers can lead to flooding and potential damage to bridge structures. Effective flood monitoring systems not only help assess the health of a bridge but also evaluate the risk within flood zones. Early detection of rising water levels is essential for preventing major issues such as bridge road closures, structural compromise, and costly repairs.

Benefits of Remote Water Level Monitoring

• Early flood warning: Be alerted to rising water levels before flood conditions occur.
• Improved bridge safety: Prevent bridge damage and potential collapse from floods.
• Data-driven decisions: Make informed choices regarding bridge closures and evacuation plans.
• Reduced maintenance costs: Eliminate the need for manual water level checks.
• Real-time monitoring: Continuously monitor water levels for proactive response.

How Resensys Sensors Aid in Water Level Monitoring?

Resensys offers a complete solution for bridge water level monitoring and flood risk management. Our sensing technology provides initial water level assessment and tracks how quickly water levels change during rain events. The data collected from these sensors can be used to support decision-making, detect flood conditions, and prioritize structural assessments after significant events. Additionally, our sensors monitor ambient temperature and humidity, offering a comprehensive overview of environmental conditions.

For a complete structural health assessment, Resensys sensors can be paired with additional technologies such as tilt, displacement, and strain gauges. This integration allows for quick detection of structural integrity issues following severe events like floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes. Given the unpredictable nature of rainfall and flooding, long-term continuous monitoring is essential for assets in high-risk areas.
