Pakistan calls CAE: 163 new stations

Within the project “Scaling-Up of GLOF Risk Reduction in Northern Pakistan” (GLOFII) to reduce the vulnerability of communities to GLOF hazards through a variety of interventions, CAE will provide an additional 163 stations for Early Warning Systems (EWS) applications in valleys with high probability of GLOF events from potentially hazardous lakes and glacial movements.

As part of the GLOFII project, the Pakistani Meteorological Department (PMD), less than a year after the delivery of the previous 293 stations and as a testament to the appreciation for what has already been done by CAE, has ordered an additional 163 stations to enhance monitoring in further valleys.

The new monitoring stations, capable of being programmed to trigger alarms even in the local area and to manage multiple telecommunication systems, are divided as follows:

• 149 hydrometeorological monitoring stations with Compact datalogger;
• 14 alert points with dataloggers and sirens.

The trust in CAE has therefore been renewed, with the signing of this contract for a new important supply, which will be useful to expand the main project mentioned above and of which we had spoken here. Once again, Italian technology for the creation of a safer world.
