Redundant Sensoring for CSO monitoring: is proximity in location important or not and why?
Redundant Sensoring for CSO monitoring: is proximity in location important or not and why?
(OP)
I'm a recent college grad entering the field as a civil engineer. In my past experience, redundant level sensors have been placed in the same CSO structure. I'm reviewing a project where the design engineer has placed the redundant level sensor in a structure downstream that also needs level monitoring to maximize sensor coverage. With my limited experience and general knowledge of hydraulics, I think this should suffice but I wonder, for monitoring purposes, proximity in location is best when identifying things like sensor drift. I asked around and no one seems to be able to give me a solid technical reason as to which arrangement is preferable or if they are interchangeble. The business need is for the most accurate measurements in order to collect overflow volumes and/or use level measurements for gate operation.
Thanks for your help!
