Exclusive Services

Our expertise extends beyond maintenance to the installation and commissioning of brand-new Road/Runway Weather Information System (RWIS) sites, particularly in challenging and remote locations. These sites are often strategically placed alongside runways or bridges, where the construction process demands not only technical skill but also adaptability to the unique environmental conditions. Understanding these complexities, our team has innovatively developed a folding tower design, which serves as a robust base structure for mounting various RWIS components. This novel approach not only facilitates easier installation in difficult terrains but also enhances serviceability, thanks to the tower's folding nature. During the commissioning phase, we meticulously configure and calibrate each component of the RWIS site, ensuring that it operates seamlessly and delivers accurate, real-time data. Our comprehensive process encompasses everything from sensor calibration to system integration, guaranteeing that the new RWIS site is fully functional, reliable, and ready to provide vital weather and surface condition information in its designated area.

Replacing a surface sensor embedded in a roadway or runway is a meticulous and coordinated task that demands precision and attention to detail. This process often necessitates the careful coordination of closures to ensure safety and minimal disruption. Our skilled team begins by cutting and thoroughly preparing the designated area, ensuring that the surface is impeccably cleaned to guarantee optimal adhesion. The new sensor is then carefully epoxied into place, a step critical for both its stability and functionality. Concurrently, we manage the intricate task of running the cabling, ensuring that it is not only accurately connected but also well-protected during installation. This attention to detail extends to safeguarding both the sensor and its cabling throughout the installation process. Our commitment to quality installation not only ensures immediate operational efficiency but also significantly prolongs the lifespan of the sensor, providing reliable and enduring service in monitoring road or runway conditions.

Upon successful installation of a surface sensor, the crucial phase of commissioning and calibration commences. This process involves intricate interaction with the Road/Runway Weather Information System (RWIS) station, a remote computer that communicates with the sensor, potentially over distances up to a mile. Our team utilizes specialized hardware and software, provided by the manufacturer, to establish and verify this communication link. During calibration, we adjust the sensor to ensure it operates within the precise specifications set by the manufacturer. This step is vital for accurate data collection and interpretation. Commissioning the sensor includes a thorough evaluation of both the cabling integrity and signal strength, confirming that the data transmission is flawless and reliable. This rigorous process ensures that the sensor not only communicates effectively with the RWIS station but also delivers consistent, accurate readings, essential for the safety and efficiency of roadway and runway operations.

Preventive maintenance is a critical aspect of ensuring the ongoing reliability and accuracy of a Road/Runway Weather Information System (RWIS) station. This comprehensive process involves a systematic check of the station's myriad components, including the verification of various sensor functions such as air temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind direction, and wind speed, along with up to eight different road surface sensors. Our maintenance protocol includes a meticulous examination of each sensor to ensure they are operating within their specified parameters, thus guaranteeing accurate data collection. Additionally, the cleaning of camera lenses is a vital part of this routine, as it ensures clear visibility and optimal functionality. Following the maintenance inspection, a detailed report is generated, highlighting any deficiencies discovered during the process. This report serves as a roadmap for any necessary repairs or replacements, ensuring that any issues are promptly addressed. Through this proactive approach to maintenance, we ensure that the RWIS station remains in peak condition, providing dependable and precise weather and road condition data.
