HL are one of the few non-governmental organisations in the UK with the track record and capability to design, operate and maintain hydrometric networks. Our expertise is derived from the background and experience of HL’s Directors and senior staff. This includes extensive project experience not just in the UK but also advising overseas governments in Eire, India, Botswana, Somalia, Jordan and Palestine. We believe the strength-in-depth we have acquired over the years within one independent company is unparalleled anywhere else in the world.
Our capabilities and experience extend to the following:
- Review and audit of status and quality of existing networks
- Rehabilitation of measurement infrastructure and instruments
- Calibration of flow gauge ratings
- Specification and introduction of new technology
- Design and development of surface water archiving, rainfall and flow data processing systems
- Installation and commissioning of telemetry systems for rainfall, level and flow
- Operation and maintenance of surface and groundwater hydrometric networks
- Design of local flood warning, water quality and pollution warning systems
- Routine monthly and annual quality control and data reporting
- Training programmes and best-practice manuals for national hydrometric networks.
