Partners in Instrumentation
RESPEC's Rapid City instrumentation team draws on various disciplines to build monitoring, data collection, and control systems for our diverse clientele. These systems frequently rely on Campbell Scientific dataloggers and hardware. Campbell Scientific is known for stateside manufacturing of robust, low-power, versatile equipment.
RESPEC designs, programs, and installs the systems that we provide to our clients. The instrumentation team works closely with engineers from RESPEC’s Mining & Energy and Water & Natural Resources business units along with Campbell Scientific’s application engineers to incorporate systems where field data, process data, or controls are required. We have installed weather stations on volcanoes, monitoring systems in caves, creepclosure systems in salt mines, early-warning alarm systems near sinkholes, and equipment in swamps where airboats provide the only access. RESPEC has designed heater-control systems for long-term, nuclear-waste disposal and high-temperature, rock-melt experiments, as well as control systems to remotely automate gate structures in large-scale irrigation systems.
Our projects often use two-way radio or cellular telemetry to transmit data in real time. Our clients benefit from immediate access to data and our ability to remotely troubleshoot systems, change datalogger programs and settings, and update datalogger operating systems. The instrumentation team often incorporates secure online dashboards to cost-effectively display client data and allow data downloads for further processing.
Data postprocessing is typically done in the R programming language and uses RStudio to create custom, HTML-based analytical reports for clients or project engineers. Because the reports are in HTML, they are platformindependent; can contain charts incorporating dynamic widgets; are easily modified; may include a mixture of text, figures, and charts; and are fully reproducible.
