About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to HR Wallingford Ltd for the purchase of two ARC remote control boats for Yorkshire area Hydrometry & Telemetry field teams.

These EA-developed remote controlled boats are used to gather data from rivers and estuary locations for bathymetric surveys, peak flow, drought monitoring, and water quality investigation.

The boats serve as platform vessels that allow interchangeable flow measuring and water quality instruments to be fitted based on requirements and conditions.

They are critical tools for recording major flooding events where gaps exist in the fixed flow measuring network or where structures have failed or are unable to measure peak flood flow.

Purchasing two boats ensures simultaneous flow measurements across a wider area during flood events and future resilience.

The contract value is AUD 35,000.
