A COMPLETE CAE SYSTEM TO MONITOR THE MEKONG RIVER DELTA
November 2012
Installation and start-up activities of the new monitoring and early warning system through the Mekong River Delta have been completed. The action, whose beneficiary is the Ministry of Environment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (MONRE), was part of the World Bank Natural Disaster Risk Management Project. The Southern Regional Hydro-Meteorological Centre was selected as the implementing agency for the upgrade and renovation of its traditional observing network in the region.
CAE has been operating a Representative Office in the country since 2006. The Company accomplished the first important project in 2010 in 5 Vietnamese Central Provinces. At that time the Italian Development Cooperation financed the real-time monitoring network and the final beneficiary was the Regional Hydro-Meteorological Center for the Central Provinces, located in Danang.
Two years after the successful completion of the first system, CAE was awarded the tender for the upgrade of the hydro-meteorological monitoring network in the most relevant area of the country: the Mekong River Delta, across several Southern Regions.
The project, completed in a very short time, was performed in partnership with the Vietnamese company OSB JST. It includes 89 hydrometric stations, 12 complete meteorological stations, 14 ADCP and all the necessary equipment and services to renew 13 provincial centers and the regional center located at Ho Chi Minh. Both GPRS and satellite communications are available, so that data transmission is granted in every extreme meteorological condition.
CAE expertise and business model perfectly matched local needs, in fact that the Project included not only the supply of goods, but also: installation, start-up of the system, planned and corrective maintenance. Since the beginning local technicians have been coordinated by specialists from the Bologna headquarter, keeping in touch on a daily bases. Local staff provides a day by day support to the experts from regional and provincial centers. CAE maximum SLA is up to 48 hours for in site assistance and 24 hours for remote assistance.
Once again, regardless of where in the world and according to the company mission, a CAE system turns out to be unique because of its effectiveness. Thanks to the constant and homogenous flow of data, analysis and modeling software become reliable and useful tools to monitor and understand extreme meteorological events in the area. This is the way CAE turns its products into a real monitoring system.
