New River and Kanawha Falls Site Assessment and Carrier Coverage Analysis

Site assessment and carrier coverage analysis for treatment and pumping facilities on the New River and at Kanawha Falls, paired with the communications design each site needed.

The West Virginia leg of a multi-year municipal water utility communications program, subcontracted through EG Controls as the controls integrator, following the Fayette County propagation and backhaul work.

Site assessment and carrier coverage analysis for treatment and pumping facilities on the New River and at Kanawha Falls, with aerial survey and analysis alongside — condition assessment of the structures and the communications design the sites needed, done as one exercise rather than two.

Pumping stations sit where the water is, which is at the bottom of a valley and a long way from anything. The site that most needs to report its state is reliably the one hardest to reach.

Outcome

Aerial condition assessment paired with the communications design each site actually needed.
