Virginia Flood Monitoring Experts Trust ToughSonic® Ultrasonic Sensors

ToughSonic® sensors have been chosen, integrated, and installed by Valarm Inc. for the StormSense flood monitoring and forecast system located in Virginia's Hampton Roads region.

“We’re pleased the City of Virginia Beach is using ToughSonic sensors for their implementation of the StormSense system,” said Sam Crawford, Senix Corporation General Manager.

ToughSonic sensors are waterproof, housed in stainless steel, and capable of enduring and thriving in harsh conditions. They have become the sensor of choice for flood monitoring systems all over the world, including the Iowa Flood Monitoring information system, the Philippine Metro Advanced Traveler Information System, and the Murray Australia irrigation system.

Every ToughSonic sensor has a built-in microcontroller and digital filters that translate numerous ultrasonic “pings,” taken over several seconds, into one single measurement output that is sent to the monitoring system. The final measurement provided to the user excludes extraneous objects, such as birds, bugs, or other objects passing through the ultrasonic beam.

ToughSonic's “Tough and Smart” sensors work reliably as waves pass, as tides rise or fall, from bridges as high as 60 feet above the water, and in the worst weather conditions imaginable—because that is when people are relying on them the most.
