OSIL Designs Innovative Sediment Transport Solution
BMM Meetdienst in Belgium has chosen OSIL to provide a high-tech sediment transport measurement solution. The system will be used to measure sediment direction and currents off the coast of Belgium in the North Sea.
The barrier will consist of a 25km long sea dike with eight closable openings for the passage of shipping and the drainage of water.
OSIL designed an integrated system that includes a SonTek ADCP for current measurement, a SonTek ADV for water velocity, a Seabird MicroCat for conductivity and temperature, and an optical backscatter device from D&A Instruments to measure sediment concentration.
OSIL is using the instruments to provide a synchronised system which interprets the data to provide highly accurate information on sediment movement and also currents.
