Maintenance of the IMS scientific station in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, since 2013 and ongoing

During the installation of the IS40 infrasound monitoring site, our team provided technical assistance for the commissioning and effective operation of the station. Since then, Enviroearth has regularly performed maintenance and upgrade of the station.

In 2016, our engineers installed a back-up battery systems, replaced faulty material on the measuring sites, fixed the air-conditionning unit at the Central Recording Facility, improved the intra-site communication system, maintained the back-up generator, improved the conditions of the technical vaults and performed several preventive maintenance tasks.

The infrasound monitoring station is now working well with good data availability and quality. This station is especially fragile due to extreme weather conditions (heat, humidity) and unreliable power supply from the main grid
