Company Category: Inspection/Testing Services

For over 20 years since 2003, DeTect has specialized in delivery, integration and support of advanced, proven Bird Monitoring and Mitigation systems (BMMS) for wind energy project developers, owners, operators and environmental consultants. Used for bird and bat surveys, mortality risk assessment, operational monitoring, and real-time risk mitigation for both onshore and offshore, over 1100 systems have been delivered worldwide. DeTect’s MERLIN BMMS integrates with a wind farm’s SCADA network. In response to the Dark Sky initiative to reduce light pollution DeTect developed the HARRIER™ Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS) for automatic obstruction lighting activation of aviation obstructions such as wind farm turbines, high voltage transmission lines and communication towers. The HARRIER ADLS provides reliable, continuous 360-degree radar surveillance of the airspace around wind farms that require aircraft obstruction lighting from the ground level to above aircraft flight altitudes, automatically issuing signals to activate obstruction lighting when aircraft are detected at a defined outer perimeter. | DeTect specializes in delivery, integration and support of advanced, proven Bird Monitoring and Mitigation systems (BMMS) for wind energy project developers, owners, operators and environmental consultants for bird and bat survey, mortality risk assessment, operational monitoring, and real-time risk mitigation with over 1100 systems delivered worldwide. DeTect’s MERLIN™ BMMS integrates the advanced, fully automatic MERLIN Avian Radar System (ARS) with a wind farm’s SCADA network to create a real-time risk mitigation system for bird or bat mortality. MERLIN BMMS consists of additional software, hardware, and/or other data sensors that monitor the wind farm, assess real-time mortality risk using mitigation rule sets, and alert for or automatically initiate risk mitigation measures when pre-defined risk thresholds are detected by the system. The MERLIN BMMS ultimately reduces both turbine downtime and bird or bat mortality risk by implementing mitigation measures in real time, and only during time periods of high mortality risk. Configurations are available for mitigating mortality risk for migrating songbirds, raptors, and bats. In response to the Dark Sky initiative to reduce light pollution and customer demand, DeTect also developed the HARRIER™ Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS) for automatic obstruction lighting activation for aviation obstructions such as wind farm turbines, high voltage transmission lines and communication towers. The HARRIER ADLS provides reliable, continuous 360-degree radar surveillance of the airspace around wind farms, communications towers, power lines and installations that require aircraft obstruction lighting from the ground level to above aircraft flight altitudes, automatically issuing signals to activate obstruction lighting when aircraft are detected at a defined outer perimeter. | DetectOS turns any visual data into predictive intelligence, preventing failures before they cascade across your network. From transmission towers to distribution poles, gain complete visibility into every asset’s condition, no matter how you capture the data.
