Out of sight yet fully connected: Discreet telemetry installations beneath gatic covers from Solinst.
29 June 2026
HydroTerra is supporting a growing number of telemetry deployments installed directly beneath gatic covers, providing clients with secure, low-profile monitoring solutions without compromising data access or performance.
By combining Solinst LevelSender telemetry with below-ground installations, these systems deliver reliable, real-time groundwater data from sites where space, visibility, or asset protection are key considerations.
The Solinst LevelSender uses cellular telemetry to connect directly to Solinst dataloggers, transmitting water level and environmental data to users via email, SMS, FTP, or cloud platforms, such as DataStream™. This allows end-users to access data remotely without the need to open pits or attend site for routine downloads.
Installing telemetry beneath gatic covers provides a practical advantage across many projects. Equipment remains protected within existing infrastructure, reducing exposure to vandalism, weather, and high-traffic environments, while maintaining a clean and unobtrusive site footprint.
For many clients, this approach also supports safer and more efficient operations. Removing the need to repeatedly open pits or access confined spaces helps reduce field risk and streamlines site visits, while telemetry ensures continuous access to critical data.

The compact design of the LevelSender allows it to fit within a standard 2” well, making it well suited to under-cover installations while still supporting flexible monitoring configurations.
HydroTerra continues to expand the use of discreet, under-cover telemetry systems as part of modern groundwater monitoring programs, helping clients maintain secure sites, reduce field requirements and access reliable data when and where it’s needed.
