Dredging
AML-1 with Turbidity for Dredge Monitoring
Dredging operations normally require ongoing monitoring of turbidity, often from buoys or other powered platforms. The AML-1 is a small, compact package providing real-time turbidity data. For self-powered instruments or turbidity profiles, view the AML-3 for Turbidity Profiles.
Why choose AML?
AML has 50 years of experience manufacturing oceanographic instrumentation. We are the only manufacturer to offer field-swappable sensor heads with accuracy levels that meet the expectations of the oceanographic science community.
Unique features of the AML solution:
- AML offers the fastest delivery time in the market. Our modular approach to sensor-heads allows us to deliver what you need, fast!
- AML offers the largest ecosystem of end-cap sensor heads available in the oceanographic market
- Our field-swappable sensor heads increase instrument flexibility; any AML sensor head you own can be installed on any instrument, thus ensuring a ‘fit to purpose’ instrument is always available
- Our field swappable sensor heads create in-field redundancy; sensor-heads can be moved or re deployed to the most critical asset
- Our field swappable sensor heads streamline service, maintenance, and recalibration; only the sensor - not the instrument - needs to travel to a recal centre
