Automated Rainfall Gauges with Telemetry for Accurate Site Monitoring
Track real-time precipitation data to assess slope stability, erosion, and water recharge with advanced telemetry-integrated gauges.
Automated rainfall gauges with telemetry provide real-time, site-specific precipitation data essential for geotechnical and environmental monitoring. These systems are designed to measure rainfall intensity, duration, and accumulation with high accuracy, enabling predictive insights into slope stability, surface erosion, and groundwater recharge. By integrating telemetry, users can access live data remotely without the need for manual readings, allowing timely decisions in critical field conditions.Geotechnical Monitoring Tools, a B2B provider based in Vancouver, BC, supports diverse industries across North America with advanced monitoring systems like these.

Landslide Risk Monitoring in California
A state transportation agency deployed automated rainfall gauges with telemetry along a vulnerable hillside corridor. By integrating rainfall data with soil moisture and inclinometer readings, they were able to identify slope movement precursors and execute timely mitigation, reducing landslide risk during the rainy season.
Stormwater Management in Houston, TX
A commercial developer used telemetry-equipped rainfall gauges as part of a LEED-certified drainage design. Real-time data helped optimize retention basin volumes and prevent site flooding. Integration with GAO Tek’s data loggers improved system reliability during tropical storms.
Mining Site Monitoring in Northern Ontario
A mining company implemented a network of automated rainfall gauges and groundwater sensors to comply with environmental discharge limits. The system enabled remote monitoring of precipitation trends and their influence on tailings pond levels, supporting proactive discharge control and compliance reporting.
