Introduction of Tsunami, High Water Observation
Facility arrangement


What is a Tunami?
Tsunami says the large-scale wave that happens caused by sudden up or down of ocean bottom.
Tsunami is carried out in an instant, destroys an area along the shore, and brings us serious damage.
so, few seacoasts of the world are throughly free from the fear of sudden fatal attack of tsunami, sometimes without warning.
The tide level meter / tsunami meter of KENEK Corporation can be helped because of reducing the damage.

Effect of introduce Tsunami,
High Water Observation facility by Tide Level meter.

  • Free from dangerous observation work at the field.
  • Dispatch of Disaster prevention center staff is not necessary.
    (Safety of people first)
  • Able to monitoring the rain storm in the building.
  • Can be obtained real time accurate data.
  • Able to take quick inhabitants evacuation counter-measure.
  • Show the power of long time Tsunami observation, such as night time.
  • Easy maintenance and low cost running fee.
[Example of application]

[Example of Tsunami, High Water Observation System]

Measure the tide level by detector and transmitter installed on seashore, send data to town office or Police Station, and can be observed tide level always.
Above Figure is showing the component example of observe at 2 places simultaneously and can be monitoring at Town office,Port and coast defense,and Port Administration Bureau.

[Measurement principle]
Measure the tide level by the time of returned Ultrasonic wave emitted from detector after reflected on the sea- surface, Therefore, can be measured water level without touching water surface, less damages and not adhere organism. Assures long period ofstabilized use without maintenance.

As the system of emitting air, construction in the water is not necessary, install on existing wharf or pier, and construction is relatively low and simple.
Also, monitoring from distant place is possible by just installed exclusive telephone line.

[Example of Tide Level Observation Pole (Iwate Pref. Taro town)]

Example of the pole attached detector and transmitter. Required power source and telephone exclusive circuit. Transmitter can be installed to the near-by building also.

[Installed place] as of year 2004

[Main tsunami observed till present]@Tsunami was observed by our system.
