Maintenance Services for Real-time Hydrologic Data Collection Networks
Routine, preventative maintenance is key to ensuring that a flood warning network provides accurate, reliable information during a hydrological event.
As part of our contracts, we perform preventative, proactive maintenance services as well as predictive maintenance and performance evaluation. Our services include:
- Start-up maintenance, electronic testing, field installation, system activation and FCC licensing
- Scheduled routine inspections and data analysis
- Unscheduled Service Calls
- End of Season field equipment maintenance and testing
- New installations and radio licensing
On-site Maintenance Training – Best Practices
Even if you perform your own ongoing maintenance, local staff may benefit from a refresher course in best practices; and if you outsource your ongoing maintenance, your staff should be familiar with the network system such that minor or emergency repairs can be accomplished in-house.
OneRain can provide specialized training to your agency in standard gauge maintenance functions to improve the reliability of your system and to reduce outage times. We typically schedule two full days of training with your maintenance staff at your facilities.
