Data Analysis and Acquisition

• Installation and monitoring of weather stations (rainfall, snow, wind, etc.)
• Installation and monitoring of hydrometric stations (water level measurement using pressure transducers, bubbler systems, ultrasonic sensors, etc.)
• Installation and monitoring of equipment to assess the operating status of pumping stations
• Instrumentation for sediment transport characterization (suspended load, bed load)
• Instrumentation and monitoring of wave effects

JFSA Québec provides 24/7 access to its online portal, allowing you to access your data directly and instantly determine the return period and duration of a rainfall event. This real-time IDF service does not prevent an event from occurring, but it helps minimize damage by giving you a head start in preparing barricades, deploying temporary pumping stations, and assigning prevention teams. In addition, you retain lifetime, unlimited access to all data collected throughout the contract period.

• Conventional land surveying using GPS RTK, total station and construction level (culverts, bridges, rivers, streams, terrain, etc.)
• LiDAR topographic surveying using drones
• Bathymetric surveying using an echo sounder
• Hydrometric measurements (water levels, velocities and flows) using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and current meters

• Rainfall, snowpack, and hydrometric analysis
• Real-time IDF alert service to indicate the attainment of return periods for various precipitation durations
• Water-level analysis for constructing rating curves used for calibrating hydraulic models
• Spatial analysis of topographic data
• Remote sensing data analysis and interpretation
