Monitoring of water in the natural environment

Creation of Flood Alerts at Hauconcourt

After several floods in Hauconcourt, the Marie decided to take matters into its own hands and secure a large area with a dyke. Nevertheless, the roads providing access to the town remain at high risk of flooding.

To address this issue, Phillipe Wagner, Mayor of the municipality, called upon a local team composed of :

• local entrepreneurs (Elres Réseaux and Solutions Réseaux),
• BTS students from the Lycée Hanzelet and their teacher.

Together, they are working on a project to automate the descent and ascent of the barriers in the event of flooding of the Moselle.

The team then turns to PARATRONIC to provide a complete system of detection, which will be able to transmit the information in real time and to trigger the barriers if the flood is proved:

• a radar installed under the Barbier Bridge to measure the level of the Moselle,
• a LNS station which will manage the radar data and allow the lowering and raising of the barriers according to predefined level thresholds,
• a web supervisor who will collect all the data and make it easy to read, directly on a web page available to the town hall.

Thanks to this solution, the elected officials are informed by SMS in case of pre-alarm and when the barriers are triggered. Illuminated signs synchronized with the barriers will warn road users of the flooding.

The securing of the flood roads during the floods of the Moselle River is therefore successful.
