The Barcelona Port Authority continues to enhance its environmental monitoring infrastructure with the installation of a new high-performance weather station at the port\u2019s northern entrance and the relocation and modernization of an existing station at the liquid bulk terminal. Both projects, carried out by Darrera, provide accurate, real-time meteorological data to support port operations and enhance safety.<\/p>\n
The new station has been installed on the breakwater at the port\u2019s northern entrance and is mounted on a 10-meter tilting mast with guy wires. This configuration facilitates routine maintenance while providing excellent stability in the demanding conditions of the marine environment. The station is equipped with a high-precision RM Young wind monitor for measuring wind speed and direction, a Campbell Scientific datalogger for data acquisition and storage, a fully autonomous solar power system, and a 4G router that enables direct communication with the Barcelona Port Authority\u2019s control center.<\/p>\n
At the liquid bulk terminal, the project involved the relocation and modernization of an existing weather station. Following the removal of the previous structure, a new 10-meter self-supporting tower was erected while retaining the original datalogger and integrating new high-performance meteorological sensors. The station communicates remotely via the Barcelona Port Authority\u2019s Ethernet network, ensuring seamless integration with the port\u2019s monitoring and control systems.<\/p>\n
Through these projects, Darrera reaffirms its commitment to developing and integrating tailor-made meteorological solutions for critical infrastructure. By delivering high-performance systems that meet the highest standards of accuracy, reliability, and operational continuity, the company continues to meet the demanding requirements of the port sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
