REMOTE TELEMETRY SERVICES

As part of our constant effort to provide clients with evaluations based on real-time data that minimizes management expense, Summit provides telemetry services that allow site monitoring to be accomplished from the office. The ability to collect data and control remediation systems remotely provides greater flexibility for project tasks while reducing the frequency and number of site visits.

Our telemetry systems allow instrumentation and control units installed at the site to be accessed via modem or satellite. Once the link is established, historical information is downloaded directly into a database or GIS system, or current site conditions is viewed in real-time. For remediation systems, components such as pumps and blowers can be adjusted remotely and the results viewed in real-time. Telemetry is an integral part of Summit's RealFlow® system which provides advanced aquifer resource management combining telemetry and GIS.

Applications for telemetry include:

• Remote aquifer analysis;
  
• Wellfield management and water supply system monitoring;
  
• Control and monitoring of groundwater pump and treat systems;
  
• Control and monitoring of soil vapor extraction and air sparging systems;
  
• Monitoring groundwater elevations and conditions; and
  
• Leak detection monitoring

Telemetry can provide significant cost savings on projects, and improve the efficiency with which project tasks are completed. In many cases, such as for wellfield management, the systems can be "turn-key" operations where operation of the system is transferred to our client.
