The Boeing Company Stormwater Treatment Real-Time Control and Monitoring
Following the installation of four vegetated media filters to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff at The Boeing Company’s Developmental Center in Tukwila, Washington, Geosyntec designed and installed a suite of internet-connected sensors to control submersible pumps and monitor the media filters’ performance. This work included monitoring soil moisture, soil temperature, ponding depth of water above the media, discharge through the filters, and rainfall at the site. Real-time data were aggregated and visualized on a web-based dashboard where users could explore the performance of the filters and toggle a pump to deliver stormwater from an underground vault to the filters. The system also allows users to receive automated emails and text messages when sensors record values above user-defined thresholds.
