Smart city, starting from the feet – Manhole pipe network monitoring

 

Intelligent protection of urban context

Ability to monitor     provide early warning    and respond quickly

MEOKON 1

 

With the continuous acceleration of urbanization, the underground pipe network system is a key part of urban infrastructure, and its operating status is directly related to the smooth operation of the city and the quality of life of residents. The traditional manhole pipe network management model faces many challenges such as high maintenance costs and slow emergency response. These problems are more prominent especially when encountering extreme weather, such as urban flooding caused by heavy rains. It also exposes the impact of rain and sewage mixed flow and other phenomena on the city. Additional pressure caused by urban drainage systems.

Therefore, it has become an urgent need to build an efficient manhole pipe network monitoring system. This system aims to use intelligent technology to improve urban management efficiency, ensure public safety, and effectively solve long-standing problems such as mixed flow of rain and sewage, thereby maintaining the city’s lifeline.

 

What are the scenarios for manhole pipe network monitoring?

1.Manhole cover abnormal movement monitoring

Manhole covers are a key component connecting the ground and underground pipe networks. Once they are displaced or lost, they will not only affect traffic, but may also cause safety accidents. By installing a “manhole cover abnormality monitoring device” transmitted by wireless 4G or NB-IoT, the status of the manhole cover can be monitored in real time. Once an abnormal tilt and movement is detected, the system will immediately send an alert to the management department and take timely measures to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Features:

Cover opening alarm/abnormal movement alarm/overflow alarm;

IP68 protection level, can be used in harsh working conditions underwater and underground for a long time;

Support 4G/NB wireless transmission method;

Supports various parameters such as IP address, data collection, fluctuation alarm value, collection interval, recording interval, upload interval, high and low alarm thresholds and other parameters via Bluetooth on mobile phones;

Support remote parameter configuration and remote firmware upgrade.

 

2. Manhole overflow monitoring
During the flood season, overflow problems from rainwater and sewage pipe networks often lead to serious road flooding and traffic disruptions. To this end, Mingkong Sensing uses products such as wireless 4G “wireless manhole water level monitor” or “ultrasonic liquid level meter” and “immersed liquid level meter” to ensure that the water level in the manhole can be accurately monitored under various conditions. Liquid level changes. Once the water level exceeds the set safety threshold, the system will automatically activate the early warning mechanism and promptly notify relevant departments so that emergency measures can be taken quickly to ensure urban drainage safety and reduce potential risks.

3.Manhole pipe network flow monitoring
Pipe network flow monitoring is the core link of water resources management and flood control dispatch. Mingkong Sensing uses a wireless 4G “Doppler flow meter” that can measure the flow rate and flow rate of fluids with high precision. This data is crucial for preventing pipe network blockage and ensuring the smooth flow of the drainage system. By analyzing real-time data, managers can gain in-depth insights into the operating status of the pipe network, thereby making more accurate decisions and optimizing the allocation and scheduling of drainage resources.

Collection and transmission

Because manhole monitoring equipment is mainly deployed in harsh outdoor underground environments, the equipment must have IP68 certification to adapt to humid and corrosive environments. The collected data is mainly transmitted using wireless 4G network to ensure the real-time and reliability of the data. In terms of power supply, the device is powered by lithium batteries. Combined with a low-power design, the battery life can reach 3-5 years. In order to ensure long-term power supply, Mingkong Sensing can also be equipped with an optional battery pack to ensure its stable operation in various environments.
