An Observatory upgrade for Ocean Networks Canada

30.03.2017
OceanWorks International is pleased to be providing an upgrade to the Strait of Georgia
Shore Station for Ocean Networks Canada (ONC). Our scope consists of design, supply, installation and system integration testing of the upgraded system.

The new system will provide the customer with the ability to monitor and control the power system in the Shore Station with a state of the art control system. New functionality will allow remote access and include soft start capabilities to enhance the safe use of the equipment. The upgraded shore station will also now share commonality with other shore stations, creating simplicity for the ONC team.

“This shore station will provide a benefit to the system and its operators by offering increased reliability and controls equivalent to the Saanich Inlet observatory,” says Scott Williams, OW Systems Engineer. “This will allow for increased ease of use and the ability to monitor and control the system remotely.”

OceanWorks International has supported the Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) Cabled Observatories since 2006.

Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) monitors the west and east coasts of Canada and the Arctic to continuously gather data in real-time for scientific research that helps communities, governments and industry make informed decisions about our future. Using cabled observatories, remote control systems and interactive sensors, and big data management ONC enables evidence-based decision-making on ocean management, disaster mitigation, and environmental protection. www.oceannetworks.ca
