Waterra. Boring Brum Students?

Not exactly, but boreholes were on the agenda when Peter Dumble, Waterra UK's MD, gave his annual talk to MSc Hydrogeology students on March 4th.

Waterra has a long standing invitation to address students, giving them the opportunity to see different pieces of groundwater monitoring equipment up close and demonstrate how they work.
For many of the students this is the first chance they get to see the kit in action, so it isn't surprising that attendance at the presentation and subsequent plaudits are very good.

Waterra have organised a number training courses during 2009 that provide groundwater professionals the opportunity to see a wide variety of monitoring equipment in action.

Check out the training section of the Waterra UK website for more details.

Gold Medal Water Level Monitoring?

Not a lot of people know it but London's East End has been the home to rather a lot of Waterra's groundwater monitoring equipment over the past 18 months.

Over 40 Levelogger Gold units are installed across the site of the new Olympic Aquatics Centre providing a constant flow of data about ground and surface water levels. These units are highly corrosion resistant so they will cope with high saline levels and difficult site conditions. After all they have to stay submerged for a few more years yet!

All of Waterra's technical knowledge was required in order to define the right approach for this prestigious project. Initially 36 Levelogger Juniors were installed for recording results from a series of short term pumping tests on the site, saving hundreds of hours of staff time which wiould have been necessary to do the job manually.

The Gold Medal beckons.
