Monitoring Equipment helps Australian Engineers Develop Kuwait Stormwater Drainage Master Plan

摘要

The use of flow monitoring instrumentation from Detectronic (UK) has facilitated the completion of two comprehensive winter hydrological surveys in Kuwait. To address seasonal flood problems, the Kuwait Government commissioned the multi-disciplinary Australian consultants Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation (SMEC) to develop a master plan for the storm water drainage system. Charlie Reed, project manager for SMEC on the Kuwait Stormwater Drainage Master Plan explained, "We approached several companies of which only Detectronic fully understood the implications of two short, but separated, survey periods and were able to work with us to provide all the equipment needed, guidance, training and importantly, essential back up and support during the survey period.
