ACS Flood and Heavy Rain Preparedness

Recognize natural disasters at an early stage.

Sudden, localized heavy rainfall can cause immense damage to residential and infrastructure buildings and, in the worst case, to people. That’s why it’s important to provide early warning in high-risk areas to protect against these forces of nature.
With the ACS early warning system, measurement begins with the amount of precipitation at neuralgic points and thus even before the rainwater reaches the nearest surface water.
In addition, conventional level sensors are installed at critical road culverts and bridges.
If culverts are blocked or overloaded by debris and floating debris, the occurring backwater is detected by our system and reported without delay. In combination with a precipitation sensor, the various measured variables and information enable correlations to be identified and warnings to be sent at an early stage. Due to this faster reaction possibility, alarms can be sent before large-scale flooding of residential and infrastructure occurs.
Our Hydrolog HLF4 and DLF4 systems operate autonomously and can therefore also be deployed at any critical point where a measurement task is required.
With our experience we support the federal states, counties and municipalities in setting up an early warning system to be able to warn the population at an early stage.
