A Beijing-Based Exploration Company Chooses AIMOLI AML920 Groundwater Flow Velocity and Direction Meter and On-Site Technical Services

Recently, an exploration company based in Beijing contacted AIMOLI to inquire about the product performance and application solutions of the AML920 Groundwater Flow Velocity and Direction Meter. The customer intended to purchase one unit of equipment but, considering the relatively high acquisition cost, wanted to further evaluate a solution that better matched the project’s actual requirements.

Following an in-depth discussion, AIMOLI’s staff conducted a comprehensive review of the customer’s project conditions, monitoring tasks, and on-site operational requirements, and provided a more targeted solution based on the specific characteristics of the project.

1. Understanding the Project Requirements and Defining the Monitoring Tasks

According to the information provided, the customer’s current project requires the installation of 10 monitoring wells. Groundwater velocity and direction measurements must be conducted at different geological layers at intervals of 5–10 meters, with the ultimate goal of obtaining complete data related to the site’s groundwater flow field.

The monitoring work is divided into two stages, and all 10 monitoring wells must undergo two rounds of measurements. The specific arrangements are as follows:

• First round of measurements: Monitoring will cover the 6–50 m depth interval in each well, with 11–13 monitoring points established per well.
• Second round of measurements: Monitoring will cover the 45–80 m depth interval in each well, with 9–11 monitoring points established per well.

Each of the two batches of on-site monitoring work is expected to take approximately 10 days.

In terms of project implementation, the customer needs to complete measurements across multiple monitoring wells, different depth intervals, and numerous monitoring points. At the same time, the final data must meet the requirements for analyzing the site’s groundwater flow field.

2. Providing a More Flexible Solution Based on Actual Operational Needs

After clarifying the project requirements, AIMOLI’s staff further analyzed the customer’s equipment usage scenarios and project implementation arrangements.

For the current project, although the customer intended to purchase one AML920 Groundwater Flow Velocity and Direction Meter, the acquisition cost was relatively high, while the scope and duration of the on-site monitoring work were clearly defined. Directly investing hundreds of thousands of RMB in equipment and conducting the measurements independently would not necessarily be the most cost-effective option for this particular project.

In view of this situation, AIMOLI’s staff provided a detailed introduction to the company’s supporting on-site technical services and corresponding service standards, helping the customer evaluate the options from both equipment procurement and practical project implementation perspectives.

This approach allows the customer to plan equipment usage and on-site monitoring work according to the project’s specific requirements, optimizing the implementation plan while meeting the project’s data collection needs.

3. Focusing on Measured Data Quality to Meet Project Reassessment Requirements

During further discussions, AIMOLI learned that the customer’s team had already undertaken a similar engineering project last year. For this year’s reassessment work, the customer had higher expectations regarding equipment performance and the quality of measured data.

The customer hoped to select more suitable monitoring equipment to obtain more accurate and reliable measured data, ensuring that the measurement results would better correspond to the actual geological environment, geological conditions, and theoretical calculation results at the site.

This was also an important reason why the customer proactively contacted AIMOLI to inquire about the AML920 Groundwater Flow Velocity and Direction Meter and related technical services.

The AML920 Groundwater Flow Velocity and Direction Meter uses particle-tracking measurement technology to obtain three-dimensional groundwater velocity and direction vector data within a single monitoring well. It also supports measurements of conventional parameters such as groundwater velocity, direction, water temperature, and water level. The instrument can be applied to groundwater environmental monitoring, groundwater contamination investigations, site remediation assessments, and research into groundwater flow characteristics.

Considering the monitoring tasks and on-site operational requirements of the customer’s project, AIMOLI’s staff held several rounds of in-depth discussions with the customer regarding product applications, technical service arrangements, and project implementation requirements, further clarifying the scope of cooperation between both parties.

4. Cooperation Agreement Reached, with On-Site Testing Services to Follow

After several rounds of business discussions and requirement confirmation, the customer gained a better understanding of the product solutions and supporting technical services provided by AIMOLI. Both parties ultimately reached an agreement to cooperate.

At present, the relevant equipment has been shipped today. AIMOLI will subsequently arrange for an engineer to travel to the project site and officially begin on-site testing services to assist the customer in carrying out the groundwater velocity and direction monitoring tasks.

This cooperation not only reflects the customer’s recognition of AIMOLI’s products and technical service capabilities but also demonstrates AIMOLI’s commitment to developing targeted solutions based on customers’ actual needs, taking into account equipment applications, on-site operations, and project implementation conditions.

For groundwater monitoring projects, selecting suitable equipment and conducting standardized on-site testing are equally important. AIMOLI will continue to provide appropriate groundwater monitoring equipment and technical support services tailored to the specific requirements of different projects.
