UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Nortek (UK) Limited for the supply of three acoustic Doppler velocimeters (ADVs) for single-point velocity measurements in field observations of currents, turbulence, and sediment fluxes.

The instruments measure three-component velocity (u, v, w) and turbulent fluctuating components (u', v', w') at sampling rates faster than 8 Hz, often up to 32 Hz, to resolve entire turbulence spectra.

They are designed for harsh nearshore and estuarine environments and can be deployed without a computer or external power supply.

The contract value was AUD 29,554.5.
