Geospector DTS Acqua:
Rainwater retention systems require a minimum capacity for safe operation, which decreases over time due to the entry of silt and sediment. Continuous monitoring is therefore necessary, which has so far been very time-consuming for systems in permanent storage (probing with inflatable boats, jetties) and has therefore usually only been carried out at a few points.
In Germany alone, there are more than 10,000 such systems, resulting in a maintenance effort that has been virtually unaffordable up to now. Now, with Geospector DTS Acqua, we have set out to offer an economical and accurate alternative for the first time.
With Geospector DTS Acqua, the depth model of an average retention basin can be recorded over the entire area within a very short time. The subsequent comparison with the target profiles (geometric basins or near-natural ponds) then provides the reduction volume via the areal distribution of sludge and sediment thicknesses.
For the first time, we can use our patented method to probe areas that are difficult to access from the air right down to the bed, so that we are not dependent on existing zero measurements or plans for bed reconstruction.
With this reliable basis for decision-making, the costs of remediation and cleaning measures can be minimized and, ideally, even avoided completely.

Only (oblique) edge areas measurable from the shore
Covering whole area with remote-controlled sensors
Inaccessible areas, e.g. reed beds
Measurement even in hard-to-reach places
Manned boats, jetties or cranes and access roads required
Can be used immediately without preparation
Spot measurements generally resulting into low accuracy and inadequate documentation
Accurate to the centimeter and automated documentation with GPS-RTK
Often missing zero measurements or plans
Patented probing for detecting the base, no zero measurement or plans required
Gross errors due to inadequate consideration of the bed geometry
Precise consideration of the bed geometry for sediment determination
