Van Walt | World-class equipment for environmental professionals

Exhibiting at the HTA FutureGrow Expo

Rosie and Ikky exhibited at the HTA FutureGrow EXPO in Warwickshire last month. The EXPO promotes technological advancements within the horticultural industry, and the ladies were promoting our soil moisture equipment. Fantastic to see our diamond duo back on tour. Next stop for these two, the annual AGS conference.

Meet the Team

The band are back together

It’s a rare occasion when the New Zealand team get together under one roof. David recently visited the team from the UK, whilst Casey made her way over from the North Island to the South. The team can often be found dispersed over both islands installing piezometers, flow gauging with the Nivu stick and catching up with customers. Check out their latest projects.

Projects

Rhizons

A fast, cost effective method for reliable soil moisture sampling of all dissolved components in the soil solution. Rhizon samplers are made from a porous and inert polymer and are ideal for most soil solution sampling projects. Rhizons are typically used in pots and containers, and are available in different sizes. Choose between macro and micro.

Van Walt goes electric

We have installed our first ChargePoint for electric cars to make charging accessible for the team and our guests. This is one of several improvements we have made this year to embrace our sustainability targets. We welcome all visitors to make use of the charging station.

Relocating a Flume

Our installation services often includes commissioning, de-commissioning, repositioning and relocation. Max and Josh had the muddy task of repositioning a flume from a previous installation. With the help of the landowners digger, Max and Josh got to work to move the 49l/s flume which will monitor flow of the channel with the addition of a high accuracy Keller pressure sensor installed within the stilling well.

HTA Growers Workshop

Last month, the team were invited to attend the HTA -ADOPT growers workshop - precision irrigation with wireless sensors. Vincent, Aggie and Clive had the opportunity to present our new online portal where data from soil moisture sensors are logged and uploaded via our data collection equipment.

Spot the StarFlow Meter

As the year slowly draws to a close, the team are finalizing projects before the bad weather sets in. David and Max have completed an install consisting of a StarFlow meter, rain gauge and level sensor. The StarFlow meter has been discretely installed in a stream with its own dedicated DataNode logger, whilst the rain gauge and sensor share their own. Each then reports back to a centrally installed DataGateway.
