Increase your Chances for Receiving Grant Funding for Infrastructure. Using Sensors and Sensor Data.

Most infrastructure grant applications require that you define how your organization will capture, monitor, and track the success of your Grant investments … for example, is your bridge, water quality, or pipe safer or more sustainable? Whether you are applying for funds to invest in improving water quality, reducing water loss or consumption, monitoring air quality, or improving traffic and road user safety on roads and bridges … there are sensors that can help you with data acquisition, tracking, and reporting.

Wireless sensors are an important tool because they can be deployed across many difficult environments, including underground, in pipes, on traffic poles, underneath bridges and in tunnels, across large geographical distances, and inside harsh environment equipment rooms (eg pumping stations). Recent advancements in technology allow for a better ownership experience, including lower labor costs - they do not need hand-on service once installed, more accurate and timely data - sensors can capture, measure, alert and report on the state and condition of your infrastructure investments in near-real time, and lower capital investments - more sensors using LPWAN communication protocols may not require as much networking infrastructure and communication bandwidth as in the past.

We can provide you or your grant consultants with information on the type of sensors, software, networking infrastructure, and estimated pricing to make it easier to complete your Grant applications. Contact us for more information.
