Flood Monitoring That Works When It Matters Most
The recent Queensland floods have once again shown how quickly conditions can turn dangerous, and how critical reliable early warning systems are for protecting farms, infrastructure, and communities.
Traditional monitoring approaches often fail precisely when they're needed most: during extreme weather, in remote locations where maintenance access is difficult or impossible. That's the challenge Halytech set out to solve.
Built for Australia's Harshest Conditions
Our MicroSpider2 Environmental and MicroSpider2 Lite data loggers deliver flood monitoring that combines advanced technology with elegant simplicity. These Australian-designed and built systems provide continuous monitoring of water levels and flow rates, with programmable alarms that simultaneously alert multiple stakeholders when abnormal conditions are detected.
What this means in practice:
Compatible with both flow and level sensors for comprehensive flood detection
Programmable alarm thresholds trigger instant notifications to multiple parties
Early detection enables proactive response before conditions become critical
Ultra-low power consumption enables years of autonomous operation
Flexible connectivity via mobile or satellite communications
No scheduled maintenance required, these systems simply work, continuously
Proven Under Pressure: The Two-Metre Mud Test
Perhaps no testimony speaks more powerfully than this real-world example.
Approximately five years ago, a MicroSpider2 installation was completely buried under two metres of mud during a major flood event. With only its antenna remaining visible above the surface, this unit has continued transmitting reliable data every single day since, without any maintenance or intervention.
That's not a lab test or a specification claim. That's what happens when equipment designed for Australian conditions meets an actual Australian disaster.

Where It's Making a Difference
The MicroSpider2 range is already protecting:
Rural properties with flood early warning systems
Creek and river level monitoring networks
Agricultural water management during flood events
Community infrastructure and critical assets
Remote locations where regular access simply isn't possible
Why It Matters Now
With flood events becoming more frequent and more severe, communities can't afford monitoring systems that might work. They need systems that will work, even under two metres of mud.
Halytech has been designing and manufacturing monitoring solutions in Australia since 2000. Our equipment doesn't just meet specifications; it exceeds them in real-world conditions, continuing to perform when others fail.
