Early flood warning

Andel FloodAlert – Early flood warning system for single and multiple properties at risk from flooding

Sends SMS and email alerts with real-time monitoring on a secure, cloud-based portal

Easy to install and set up, FloodAlert posts fitted with special water level sensors transmit SMS and email warnings via a gateway to designated recipients and provide real-time monitoring of rising water levels to a cloud-based portal, accessible from any internet enabled device, with no necessity for special software.

FloodAlert uses a robust, ultrasonic LoRaWAN level sensor and integrated radio, encased in a recycled, watertight and shatter-resistant outer casing, ensuring consistent reliability. The posts can be installed up to 15 kilometres from the gateway in some cases and each gateway can connect to an unlimited number of users.

The posts can be strategically positioned to give maximum warning to allow for evasive action.

FloodAlert Sensor

FloodAlert Ultrasonic LoRaWAN Sensor is a battery operated water level sensor with integrated LoRaWAN radio. CE Conformance and RoHS Compliant. 24/7 monitoring with up to 15km range.

The sensor is integrated inside the top part of the post and monitors groundwater, surface water and watercourse levels. The top of the post can be removed to give access for maintenance, for example battery replacement, however batteries will last for 12 years and no routine maintenance is generally required.

Easy installation and set-up

FloodAlert posts are buried in the ground in 0.5m post holes and back-filled with gravel to allow water to enter the post through rows of holes. The sensor monitors water levels below and inside the post.

In many cases a single FloodAlert post will suffice, however a number of posts can also be deployed to protect a larger risk area and multiple properties.

The post is constructed from robust, 100% recycled post-industrial plastic waste with 30mm thick walls. Rows of holes allow water to enter the post for the sensor to monitor the water levels. The posts are available in grey or brown with reflective red and white strips, they are robust and easy to install.
