The problem
Multiple government and private agencies monitoring flood risk across distributed sites — each with different sensor types, communication protocols, and data formats. No unified view. No confidence in the data reaching decision-makers in time.
What we built
A complete telemetry pipeline from field sensors to a centralised data broker. Each site was commissioned individually — sensor calibration, communication link validation, and integration testing against the unified schema.
The data broker normalises inputs from LoRaWAN gateways, cellular modems, and legacy serial sensors into a single event stream. Downstream consumers — dashboards, alerting systems, and agency data portals — all subscribe to the same canonical format.
On-site commissioning
Every installation was commissioned with a structured checklist: signal strength validation, sensor baseline calibration, power system verification, and a 48-hour soak test before handover. Commissioning logs were generated on-site and linked to the device registry, so the operations team inherited a complete record of each site's initial state.
Operational handover
The system was designed to be operated by the client's existing field teams. Runbooks cover every failure mode observed during deployment and testing. Firmware updates deploy through staged cohorts with automatic rollback if health checks fail.
The result: a flood monitoring network that runs without vendor dependency, with the operational artifacts to prove it.
