Design and construct of Mobile Spill / Plume Monitoring Unit

Comissioned by Van Oord, we built the Mobile Spill Monitoring System (MSMS). This is a major advancement in sediment monitoring, plume tracking and flux quantification during dredging projects. The system combines the data about currents from acoustic current profilers (ADCP), optical turbidity sensors and DGPS positioning systems to quantify the dispersion of spilled suspended sediments from the project site in real-time. The MSMS enables the operators and their contractors to respond adequately to spill events, changing environmental conditions and water-quality infractions as they occur. Early determination of spills can therefore contribute to better spill management at site and can therefore reduce costs.
