Tree Risk Assessment
Urban & Local Government agencies responsible for tree management in public places constantly need to assess tree condition as part of risk management. Arborists are commonly engaged to undertake this assessment using the ARBOTOM®.
The ARBOTOM® Tree Tomograph is an instrument for tree risk assessment and wood quality evaluation. It quickly provides an impression of the inner condition of a tree. If used in combination with the root mapping tool, ARBORADIX™, it can detect roots below pavement.
Stress waves travel through sound wood faster than through damaged wood. Sensors around the tree measure the time it takes an impulse to travel through the wood and reach the other sensors. The collected data is simultaneously sent to a computer which will turn the data into a coloured image of the tree’s cross-section.
Underground Power Cable Installations:
Soil Thermal Conductivity
Electricity flowing in a power cable generates heat. The soil is a resistance to heat flow between the cable and the ambient environment and as such the soil thermal properties are an important consideration in the design of underground power cable installations. Soil thermal properties also vary with variation in water content of the vadose zone.
The MTN02 system allows fast measurements of the thermal resistivity or conductivity of soils. It is specifically designed to be robust, as well as accurate and is suited to laboratory as well as field measurements. Typical applications include soil, backfill material and concrete thermal properties.
The measurement with MTN02 complies with the IEEE Guide for Soil Thermal Resistivity Measurements (IEEE Standard 442-1981 (03)) as well as with ASTM D 5334-14 Standard Test Method for Determination of Thermal Conductivity of Soil and Soft Rock.
The CRC04 Calibration Reference Cylinder contain traceable thermal conductivity reference materials for calibration of MTN02 and referencing of the MTN02 in the field whilst taking measurements. The CRC04 cylinder is traceable to NPL National Physical Laboratory United Kingdom
The MTN02 system is available for rent or purchase within Australia.

Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll Fluorescence Research
The Walz company from Germany has been serving science for more than 40 years with sophisticated measuring devices for plant research. Technical progress in LED technology and other electronic components enables Walz to design instruments with unprecedented analytical potential. These novel devices drive progress in science. You can learn more about the company from this short video.
The DUAL-KLAS-NIR Spectrophotometer measures chlorophyll fluorescence and fast absorbance changes in the near infrared spectrum.
This DUAL-KLAS-NIR Spectrophotometer will be used in a planned Zoom webinar (August 27th 2020, 4PM AEST) in a demonstration of photosynthetic control. This demonstration is designed to have broad appeal to all scientists, and it is an important topic for all organisms, especially plants. This demonstration will be preceded by short overview of new developments and afterwards a question session with key Walz R&D engineers. Please register your interest here.
IoT Real-Time Weather Stations
The SNiP-A41 is 'Sensor Node Integrated Package' for LoRaWAN or CAT-M1 communication of real-time weather station parameters for continuous environmental monitoring.
The base SNiP-A41 integrates 1x S-NODE and 1x ATMOS-41 Weather Sensor to a site’s unique network, communication and power requirements.
Both the S-NODE and the MFR-NODE can support an added 3x Sensors. The ATMOS-41 provides a measurement of Wind Speed (m/sec), Wind Direction (°), Air Temperature (°C), Relative Humidity (RH %), Barometric Pressure (kPA), Vapour Pressure, Solar Radiation, Precipitation
IoT Real-Time Weather Stations
The ATH-2S provides a measurement on Ambient Temperature & Humidity, and with accuracy drift of better than ±2% Relative Humidity. Another substantial development of the ATH-2 Series design is the removable sensor chip, which can be quickly swapped out in the field for a price far lower than the typical calibration or complete replacement.
Temperature and humidity sensors drift out of calibration and need replacement every 1-2 years. This advance significantly reduces the time and costs associated with avoiding data gaps and maintaining long-term data calibration. This is especially important for VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) calculations with irrigation scheduling or when developing and using algorithms for A.I. (Artificial Intelligence).
The base SNiP-ATH2 integrates 1x S-NODE and 1x ATH-2S Ambient Temperature & Humidity (SDI-12) Sensor to a site’s unique network, communication and power requirements. The S-NODE can support an added 3x Sensors.
We look forward to hearing from you in the future,
ICT International
