The reliable transmission of all the data from the reservoir is made possible by the resilient, all-weather telecoms kiosk that operates 24/7 fully independently off-grid.

To implement an IoT-based monitoring system to monitor the stability of the dam wall and the volume of water entering the reservoir from its tributaries. The whole area around the reservoir has reduced or no cell phone network coverage, and therefore the communications solution supporting the monitoring network needed to consume low power and have long durability, low maintenance and support a very reliable and secure data transfer from sensors to users.
The Insight Platform deployed for Kielder Water & Forest Park has three key components:
To address the need for reliable and resilient communications at this remote location, the solution also incorporates an all-weather telecommunications kiosk. The kiosk houses the edge computer node, power storage/management, LoRaWAN gateway and Inmarsat satellite terminal, and is supported by a wind-turbine and PV solar arrays for totally independent remote operation.
Kielder Water & Forest Park Development Trust now has real-time, continuous and detailed insight into the key critical risk control factors that might affect the integrity the dam and the surrounding environment of the reservoir and downstream catchment area, including:
A UK-based global satellite communications operator that provides the resilient satellite connectivity and standalone power generation capability to this project.
Mconnected is an asset intelligence and IoT integration specialist that installed and integrated the geo-technical sensors, instrumentation and the telecoms kiosk at Kielder Reservoir.
Worldsensing supplied the load-sensing inclinometers that measure any movement of the dam wall, and the LoRaWAN gateway that connected all the sensors, aggregating their data before transmitting it to the edge computer node for transformation and transmission to the cloud pipeline.
