Avoiding prolonged submergence ​protects critical cable integrity

SmartVault® provides ongoing monitoring of cable vaults in nuclear power plants to detect water intrusion. SmartVault® eliminates the necessity for time consuming visual vault inspection by providing users with desktop access to the water level conditions in the vault. These vaults typically contain electrical cables, sensitive telecommunications or high voltage power transformers that should not be submerged in water.

​SmartVault®:

• Is a battery powered turnkey package using ultrasonic level for measurement;
• Measures vault water level every 60 minutes and transmits information every 6 hours using the Iridium satellite system;
• Delivers level detection alarms via email and/or text message;
• Provides a dedicated ultra-secure, cloud-accessed website where users can view locations, check system operational status, download data, view reports and much more.

By monitoring cable vaults with SmartVault®, utilities can:

• Meet regulatory demands
• Obtain information in a timely manner for pumping
• Correlate information with external events
• Eliminate need for (and cost of) manual inspections
• Prevent problems before they occur
• Provide data for upgrade and maintenance planning
