Opportunities!
USGS selected in a public bid the PA-23
accelerometer package for the Advanced
National Seismic System (ANSS) and
awarded Geotech a 5-year open contract. A
first order was already delivered.
Geotech
has delivered to Singapore SMARTMonitor, a real-time
Web-based Building Monitoring
System
Geotech has delivered
and installed four
Wi-Fi based seismic networks, 24 channels @
1000 sps, in the Australian outback

Geotech installed two SMART-based seismo-acoustic
arrays for volcano monitoring in Ecuador. They
contributed to the timely evacuation of 4000
people before the Tungurahua eruption in 2006
(read full EOS
article).
15 KS-54000 broadband
borehole seismometers were delivered to IRIS
and AFTAC.
A KS-2000/SMART-24D® based, VSAT
telemetry array was delivered to
NGRI, Hyderabad, India.
Geotech Instruments delivered 15
Infrasound Arrays, four of
them portable.

These infrasound arrays are based on the
Prototype Infrasound Array delivered to Los
Alamos National Laboratory in 1998 and on
three South Korean seismo-acoustic
arrays delivered to Southern
Methodist University in 1999-2004 and two
seismo-arrays delivered in 2010-2011.
