Legal Justification

The UK WaveNet monitoring program, is built on a fleet of DataWell (hardware equipment supplier) wave riders as the gold standard ultra-reliable monitoring device. As well as the required capital investment to replace this existing equipment, a change of platform would be prohibitively expensive and would also need approval from our customer (EA and UKCMF) in order to ensure Cefas was meeting it’s contractual obligations. As such the continues use of the DWR Mk3 instruments is essential, and RS Aqua is the only UK representative for DataWell to provide the necessary calibration and maintenance and servicing requirements.
