Protecting Parbold Flood Monitoring with Remote Technology

Our remote solar-powered camera and water level sensor system helps protect the community of Parbold by giving Network Rail real-time visibility of a critical water culvert near the railway. In times of heavy rain or rising water levels, the system provides early warning of potential flooding, allowing faster response and preventative action.

How it helps:

• 24/7 monitoring – Live camera feeds and water level data are accessible remotely at any time.

• Early flood alerts – Threshold-based warnings notify engineers before water becomes a threat.

• Community safety – Supports timely intervention to reduce the risk of track flooding and disruption to the village.

• Off-grid reliability – Fully solar-powered with cellular connectivity, the system operates independently without mains power or site visits.

By enabling Network Rail to monitor this vulnerable point in real time, the system plays a vital role in flood risk management and helps safeguard both the railway and the Parbold community.
