Client: East Riding of Yorkshire Council
Project: Cottingham Culvert Trash Screen monitoring

East Riding of Yorkshire Council commissioned Hydro-Logic to install flood monitors in the village of Cottingham, near Kingston upon Hull. Residents in this area had been dramatically affected by the floods of June 2007. Extremely intense rainfall combined with already saturated land resulted in localised flooding which was made worse by the effects of easily blocked 'trash screens' at numerous culvert locations.

Client: Edinburgh City Council
Project: Flood and trash screen monitoring

Hydro-Logic was contracted by City of Edinburgh Council in 2010 to supply and install water level monitoring and flood warning systems at 10 key locations throughout the City. The sites were on open water courses and culverted stream running through the city suburbs where flooding has been a recurring problem over several years.

Client: Wychavon District Council
Project: Culvert trash screen blockage warning

Wychavon District Council commissioned Hydro-Logic to install a system to monitor rising flood levels on the Bengeworth Brook in the Evesham area. Residents had been particularly vulnerable to the effects of 'trash screen' blockages at a culvert location. Storm events similar to the 2007 summer floods had caused particular maintenance problems for the Engineering Team at Wychavon.

Perth and Kinross City Council, Scotland
Supply of Flood Warning scheme for Perth, March 2008 -ongoing

Hydro-Logic was appointed by Perth and Kinross council via Halcrow Consulting Engineers to supply install and maintain 10 no. monitoring sites. These sites were spread over Perth City primarily to monitor the levels in a number of small burns that pass through the centre of Perth. The burns historically can cause severe flooding and their monitoring was deemed essential as part of the cities overall flood prevention scheme. The system comprised of 7 no. level systems and 3 no. trash screen monitors transmitting both level information and alarms back to the City Council's own FEP6 management system. HL also supplied 2 no. Camsys observation cameras, which sends out an email, when a pre-set level is exceeded, of pictures of potential screen blockages so that maintenance teams can prioritise site visits.

Scottish Borders Council, Scotland
Supply of a Trash Screen monitoring and flood warning system, April 2007

Hydro-Logic was appointed to supply 4 trash screen monitors to the Scottish Borders Council. They were installed to monitor the level upstream of the screens and to provide alarms when the level reached a set threshold. This alarm was to be used by the council to indicate a build up of debris in front of the screen that would have created a flood risk potential. The alarms are transmitted along with collected data back to an IDQTel system operated out of the Councils Border Care Office.

Falkirk County Council, Scotland
Supply and installation and maintenance of a Trash Screen blockage and Flood Warning system, 2006 - ongoing

Hydro-Logic was appointed by Falkirk County Council to supply, install and commission a series of 7 sites where there were concerns over flooding. The systems were deployed to supply alarms to a central control office at Falkirk Council. The system consisted of 2 sites where debris screen water levels were to be monitored, 4 open channel sites, 3 of which needed flow measurements and the final site was on a tidal stretch of a burn flowing into the Forth Estuary. Alarm handling was through Hydro-Logic's FEP at our Stirling office. Data is recorded using Druck pressure transmitters and a combination of Isodaq Hawk XT and RT outstations using GSM SIM cards to communicate remotely with the FEP.
