Case Studies


Flow Survey for Major UK Airport

Discover how Detectronic is supporting a major UK airport in enhancing the accuracy of their surface water models through a 12-month flow survey. Using advanced flow meters, alarms, and raingauges, we’re providing precise data that enables continuous model verification and improved water management. Read the full case study to learn more about our ongoing project and how we’re helping the airport achieve regulatory compliance and effective water management strategies.
