Italian technology has been chosen to implement a World Bank project in Peru. CAE and its local partner will be responsible for the Supply, Installation and Commissioning of Water level sensor for the Reservoir, Rain gauge and the Data transmission system via GOES Satellite in order to guarantee an adequate monitoring and surveillance for the safety of seven prioritized dams in Peru.

Compagnia Valdostana delle Acque (CVA) manages many hydroelectric power plants in mountain areas. The derivation channels carrying water to the plants run for tens of kilometers at high altitude, through fascinating but also complex environments. In two of these plants, CAE has implemented water level monitoring systems, operating in near real time on different spots distributed along the entire length of these power plants.

Thanks the research project coordinated by Prof. Menduni, that has just been completed, two computational products have been developed: “Smart Slope” is related to the trigger thresholds of superficial gravitational instability, and “Smart Channel” is related to the real-time control of the operation of free surface channels. Aiming at transferring research results into operational tools, we worked on "sensor integration" and the creation of authentic intelligent systems.

CAE has now proudly won the tender for the three-year ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, as well as the works for the expansion of the environmental monitoring network for civil protection purposes. During the maintenance period all system components will be substantially upgraded…
