What to watch out for when installing groundwater telemetry beneath Gatic Covers

Installing groundwater telemetry systems beneath Gatic covers can create a clean, secure and discreet monitoring solution, but it also comes with a unique set of challenges. Limited space, signal attenuation, flooding risks, cable management and equipment access all need to be considered to ensure a reliable long-term installation.

At HydroTerra, we’ve seen how small design decisions during installation can have a major impact on data reliability, maintenance requirements and equipment longevity. Factors such as antenna placement, headspace, battery requirements and protection from moisture ingress should all be assessed before deployment.
