The Ministry of the  Environment and Rural and Marine Environments (MARM), through the Directorate General for Water, has been awarded service contracts for the design and creation of a management system and hydrological data analysis from the Red Gauging Station Officer (ROEA) of the Water Boards, amounting to 923,552 euros.

The company has been awarded the Joint Venture Company (JV) formed by Sociedad Ibérica de Construcciones Electrical SA (SICE) and Technical Oficina Técnica de Control de Obras (Ofiteco).

This technical assistance aims at the establishment and implementation of a system to gather in a single database all the information related to traffic counts (levels, flows, direct traffic counts), so allowing solutions to different aspects of hydrometric work undertaken by the Hydrographic Confederation such as the digitization of limn graphs, the importation of archive management, appraisals, curves, validation sets, and so on.

This system will be installed in Hydrographical Confederations Minho-Sil, Cantabrian, the Duero, Tagus, Guadiana, Segura, Júcar and Ebro and will be configurable in the future, to add data from both the Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH) and the Automatic Water Quality (SAICA).

The work to be performed consists mainly of the following:

• Consulting services for the detailed starting situation of each confederation.
• Acquisition, installation and commissioning of a new software platform for comprehensive management of hydrological information.
• Jobs in shaping the new platform.
• Jobs in migration of information from the old formats or systems to the newly configured platform.
• Configuration tasks aimed at import, export and automatic system operation.
• Development of a consultation platform data center confederations.
• Implement finalization and training in the use of the system.
