Measurement technology – data acquisition
The quality of data, evaluations, model calculations etc. is improved by continuous development, adaptation, optimisation and validation of measurement systems. The wide range of methods encompasses geophysical field measurements, in-situ measurement systems and automated data transmission, sampling and on-site analysis systems. Knowledge concerning the long-term behaviour of sensors and measurement systems and the suitability of new measurement systems, probes and data transmission media is needed to select and install measurement equipment suitable for each project. Synchronised measurement networks including data transmission of automated event sampling are very useful in monitoring tracer experiments and pumping tests. Early warning systems are deployed in water supply and waste water disposal plants. Various measurement systems also guarantee precise monitoring in mining, tunnelling, road construction and hydraulic engineering.
