How Inzwa’s Vibration and Tilt Monitor Improved DRW Associates’ Bottom Line
Joel Kurtz of DRW Associates installed the Inzwa Veva III to monitor vibration and tilt at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion project in Columbus, OH. “We had plenty of seismographs on hand for monitoring vibration,” Kurtz said. “To monitor tilt, however, we needed to purchase additional equipment. I thought Inzwa’s ability to measure both […]
