We're proud to announce that Teledyne RD Instruments, a division of Teledyne Marine, in partnership with our trusted partner Aqua Vision, has secured a 10-year + 5 optional contract with Rijkswaterstaat for the delivery and maintenance of vertical
ADCPs. Over the course of the agreement, more than 80 Teledyne RD Instruments
WorkHorse II ADCPs, known for their proven reliability, quality, and future-proof design, will be supplied to support Rijkswaterstaat's water monitoring programs across the Netherlands.
The project officially kicked off on July 31st in Delft, the Netherlands, with the delivery of the first
WorkHorse II ADCPs and battery packs, marking a major milestone after extensive groundwork and collaboration.
“Delivering the first units by hand after years of preparation and discussions was a truly rewarding moment," says Arjan Rietveld, Sales Manager, Imaging & Instruments at Teledyne Marine.
“Seeing the enthusiasm of the users who will work with this equipment was the highlight. We're proud that Rijkswaterstaat chose our robust and trusted WorkHorse II. We couldn't have done it without the strong collaboration and support from Aqua Vision."
Jeroen van Dam, Head of Sales and Marketing at Aqua Vision adds:
"It's beens fantatic working with Teledyne RD Instruments to make this possible. Their flexibility and commitment to delivering the best possible offer truly made it a collaborative effort. Handing over the ADCPs together with Arjan is the crowning achievement of our joint work.
The Technical and Contract Manager at Rijkswaterstaat, Ilke Hagendoorn, said:
“Rijkswaterstaat employs various types of ADCPs and floats to measure, among other things, flow velocity and direction in Dutch waters. Some of these ADCPs are now more than 20 years old which shows the high quality of the Teledyne RD Instruments ADCP products. For many years, Aqua Vision has maintained all Teledyne RD Instruments' ADCPs and floats on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat, consistently proving to be a reliable partner. We are therefore pleased to continue this collaboration and to have Aqua Vision supply us with the new generation of ADCPs from Teledyne RD Instruments in the coming years."
We look forward to supporting Rijkswaterstaat in achieving their goals through reliable technology and strong collaboration.
