Low-main­te­nance ground­wa­ter telemetry

Reliable, Affordable Telemetry

We offer mul­ti­ple solu­tions for ground­wa­ter mon­i­tor­ing. The equip­ment can be pur­chased or acquired via oper­a­tional lease. The ground­wa­ter lev­el is mea­sured using a pres­sure sen­sor and trans­mit­ted wire­less­ly in real-time to our dash­board. There, all mea­sure­ments are secure­ly stored for you to eas­i­ly view, com­pare, and export.

We provide:

24/7 real-time insight

All mea­sure­ments are sent direct­ly to our secure cloud envi­ron­ment, where you can view them imme­di­ate­ly. No need to go to the mea­sure­ment well to retrieve measurements.

Versatile dashboard

The Blik dash­board offers a sim­ple and clear overview of all mea­sured val­ues. Data can be export­ed from the dash­board to Excel or CSV, for exam­ple, allow­ing you to eas­i­ly com­bine the data with your own data and systems.

Robust equipment

Our equip­ment has been devel­oped in-house from the ground up to be robust, low-main­te­nance, and durable. The equip­ment is ful­ly IP-68 water-resis­tant*, fea­tures a bat­tery that lasts 8 years with a mea­sure­ment inter­val of 1 hour, and a field-replace­able bat­tery and plumb bob.

* The plumb bob can remain under­wa­ter indef­i­nite­ly. The trans­mit­ting equip­ment is guar­an­teed for up to 72 hours at a depth of 2 meters.

Usable anywhere

Our solu­tion can be deployed in any mon­i­tor­ing well: The dig­i­tal plumb bob can be sus­pend­ed up to 200 meters deep, and the trans­mit­ting equip­ment is com­pact enough to fit even in the small­est street pots. Exter­nal anten­nas are avail­able for recep­tion in steel conduits.

Built for water management

Our dash­board was designed and built by Blik from the ground up. As a result, it is ful­ly geared towards the sim­ple and clear mon­i­tor­ing of ground­wa­ter. We are always open to feed­back and are hap­py to think along with you about how the dash­board can best sup­port you in your tasks.

Is there some­thing miss­ing from the dash­board? Because our dash­board is devel­oped in-house, cus­tom adjust­ments and addi­tions are always possible.

Clear insights

See all infor­ma­tion col­lect­ed by the node (water lev­el, baro­met­ric infor­ma­tion, pre­cip­i­ta­tion data) at a glance.

Integration with other systems

By means of an open REST API, the same data acces­si­ble via the Blik dash­board can also be auto­mat­i­cal­ly queried by oth­er sys­tems. This allows you to build con­nec­tions to oth­er sys­tems your­self (or have them built).

We also have exist­ing con­nec­tions with var­i­ous wide­ly used sys­tems. Do we not yet have a con­nec­tion with a sys­tem you use? We would be hap­py to build one for you.

Efficient and clear

Pur­pose­ful and stream­lined to pro­vide a clear view of the ground­wa­ter. The first mea­sure­ments can be stud­ied* with­in just 1 hour of instal­la­tion, and the node requires no main­te­nance. The entire chain con­sists of 1 inte­grat­ed sensor/telemetry solu­tion so that mon­ey and time can be saved.

* depend­ing on the mea­sure­ment frequency

Simple and robust

Our node is sim­ple to use, robust­ly built, and can oper­ate on a set of bat­ter­ies for up to 8 years*. The node itself is placed at the top of a mon­i­tor­ing tube, and the dig­i­tal plumb bob goes into the tube. The cable length can be spec­i­fied in advance so that it always fits per­fect­ly. Fur­ther­more, no infra­struc­ture is required – the mea­sure­ments are received on the Blik dash­board via exist­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tion networks.
