E. coli monitoring has traditionally relied on manual grab sampling and laboratory analysis, often meaning results arrive long after water conditions have already changed.

The Proteus proSONDE introduces a different approach by delivering continuous, real-time E. coli monitoring directly in the field.

For New Zealand waterways, stormwater networks, wastewater infrastructure, and recreational water sites, this creates significant advantages. Operators can identify contamination events earlier, better understand how rainfall and catchment activity influence water quality, and respond faster to protect both public health and the environment.

Combined with Adroit’s remote telemetry and cloud-based data platforms, water quality data becomes instantly accessible from anywhere, with automated alerts, live dashboards, and long-term trend analysis supporting compliance and operational management.

ALGIM provides professional development and thought leadership for local government professionals across areas including ICT, digital, information management, customer service and GIS.

Adroit General Manager Guy Macpherson recently joined local government, engineering and environmental experts for an ALGIM webinar focused on one of the most urgent issues facing councils across Aotearoa New Zealand: how better data, monitoring and risk tools can support flood and landslip management. The discussion was particularly timely given the increasing frequency and intensity of severe weather events affecting communities around New Zealand.

Alongside Guy Macpherson, the panel included Darren De Klerk from Hastings District Council, Ben Westgate from Tonkin + Taylor, and Damien Young from Zealandia Consulting. The group shone a spotlight on how councils are responding to evolving flood and landslip risks, and how real-time data is helping shift resilience planning from reactive response to proactive decision-making.

A major focus of the discussion was Hastings District Council’s work following Cyclone Gabrielle, a devastating event causing extensive flooding and infrastructure damage across the Havelock North catchment.

For Adroit, participating in the ALGIM webinar was an opportunity to contribute to an important national conversation around resilience, preparedness and the future of environmental monitoring in New Zealand. The challenge is not simply choosing technology, but building systems that can evolve alongside changing risks and growing community expectations.

The Waitangi Endowment Forest has become the setting for one of Aotearoa’s most advanced wildfire-protection initiatives. A network of 250 ultra-early wildfire detection sensors is now active throughout the forest and the adjoining Waitangi Mountain Bike Park, establishing New Zealand’s first fully connected ‘smart forest’.

The collaboration between the Far North District Council (FNDC), Spark New Zealand, Adroit, and Germany-based Dryad Networks marks a major milestone for climate resilience in Aotearoa. The system detects the earliest chemical and thermal signatures of smouldering material, often long before there is visible flame or smoke, and sends alerts for rapid response. By focusing on early chemical indicators rather than visual cues, it brings detection forward into the smouldering phase, the critical early minutes when a small crew can extinguish a potential wildfire quickly and safely.

For a region increasingly exposed to drought and high winds, the installation represents a step change in environmental protection and a model for how regional authorities can use technology to safeguard land, people, and cultural heritage.

Adroit will join Spark New Zealand on stand 50, at Fieldays 2026, bringing a range of environmental monitoring and IoT solutions to New Zealand's largest agricultural event, 10-13 June, at Mystery Creek.

We'll be exhibiting connected monitoring technologies, including remote weather stations that provide live rainfall, wind, temperature and humidity data to support irrigation, spraying and crop management decisions, plus remote liquid level monitoring systems, which use radar technology to continuously monitor tanks, reservoirs and water storage assets, and alerting stakeholders when levels move outside predetermined thresholds.

Water quality monitoring will be another key focus. Adroit will showcase how world-leading multi-parameter systems track indicators such as E. coli, pH, temperature and organic contamination, providing early warning of changing conditions and helping users better understand the health of waterways and water supplies.

This week, Adroit's ultra-early wildfire detection technology was featured on 1News, the story highlights how real-time environmental monitoring could help reduce the impact of wildfires across New Zealand.

The 1News story explores how advanced monitoring technology can identify the earliest signs of wildfire ignition, potentially providing emergency services, landowners, and asset managers with critical additional response time before a fire becomes established.

As climate conditions continue to increase wildfire risk across many regions, the ability to detect events sooner has the potential to improve outcomes for communities, critical infrastructure, commercial assets, and the environment.

We're proud to see this important technology receiving national attention and look forward to sharing more from the project next week, including additional footage and insights into how the solution works in the field.

Water quality can change rapidly, particularly after rainfall events, discharge activity, or catchment disturbance. This means the ability for real-time water monitoring really matters. Yet many monitoring programs still rely on manual sampling and delayed lab results, leaving critical gaps between an event occurring and a response being made.

Adroit's real-time water monitoring solution changes all of that. Using the new Proteus proSONDE, Adroit delivers continuous monitoring of key water quality parameters including E. coli, turbidity, conductivity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and more, providing live insight directly from the field.

For councils, utilities, industrial operators, and environmental managers, continuous datasets support faster decision-making, stronger environmental oversight, and earlier identification of emerging issues before they escalate.

Instead of waiting days for results, operators gain immediate visibility into changing water conditions and can respond proactively when thresholds are exceeded.

Continuous data leads to better water management. Talk to Adroit today about gaining real-time water quality insights to improve your operational decision making.

Real-time worksite monitoring is becoming essential for modern construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects. From dust and noise to vibration and environmental conditions, having continuous visibility across a site allows teams to respond faster, maintain compliance, and reduce the risk of community complaints before issues escalate.

Adroit delivers integrated worksite monitoring solutions that provide live environmental data directly from the field, helping project teams track conditions in real-time, automate alerts, and maintain clear audit trails for reporting and stakeholder management. Continuous monitoring supports safer operations, stronger environmental performance, and more informed decision-making across dynamic worksites.

For projects requiring flexible deployment, Adroit’s Portable Monitoring Kits (PMKs) provide rapid, low-infrastructure monitoring for dust, noise, and vibration applications. Designed for fast setup and relocation, PMKs make it easy to establish monitoring at critical site boundaries, temporary works, and changing project environments without complex installation requirements.

Across New Zealand, organisations are already seeing the benefits. Winstone Aggregates uses Adroit PMKs across multiple quarry sites to monitor dust exposure risks and improve worker safety awareness, while Freightways has deployed portable dust and noise kits across freight depots to better understand conditions in dispatch zones, truck bays, and forklift areas. Infrastructure contractors such as Pipeline and Civil have also used Adroit PMK Noise and Vibration kits to help remain compliant with Auckland Council worksite constraints and minimise the risk of public disturbance on critical projects.

Whether managing compliance obligations, protecting neighbouring communities, or improving operational awareness, real-time monitoring gives teams the insight needed to act early and operate with confidence.

Day two at the Stormwater Conference and the conversations around resilience, flood preparedness, and smarter stormwater management continue to highlight one thing, the demand for reliable, real-time environmental data is growing rapidly across New Zealand.

From our Adroit team, Guy Macpherson and Jay Meissner have had some great discussions with councils, infrastructure operators, engineers, and environmental professionals around how continuous monitoring is helping organisations respond faster to changing conditions, improve operational visibility, and strengthen long-term planning.

On display at the Adroit stand are a range of real-time monitoring solutions focused on flood detection, water level monitoring, telemetry, slip detection and water quality monitoring, including technologies designed for stormwater networks, catchments, remote flood-prone environments, and critical infrastructure applications.

With severe weather events becoming more frequent across New Zealand, real-time monitoring is increasingly shifting from a “nice to have” to critical operational infrastructure. Systems that provide continuous visibility, configurable alerts, and resilient connectivity allow teams to make faster, more informed decisions during storm events and day-to-day operations alike.

If you’re attending the conference, come and visit the Adroit team before the event wraps up to discuss how real-time environmental monitoring can support your stormwater, flood management, and infrastructure resilience objectives.

It’s been a great conference for Adroit and Spark NZ so far. We look forward to continuing the robust conversations around stormwater management, both tomorrow and beyond, with our valued partners.

Adroit recently launched proSONDE, a real-time, multi-parameter water quality monitoring system designed for continuous environmental monitoring in rivers, lakes, stormwater networks, and coastal environments, giving operators a clear picture of water conditions.

The proSONDE is perfectly suited for use by councils and infrastructure operators looking for reliable, real-time water-quality insights. A key reason for this is the long-standing challenge of monitoring key water contaminants such as E. coli. Historically, testing has relied on grab sampling and lab analysis, often taking 24 - 48 hours to receive results. Any delay makes it difficult to respond quickly to changing conditions and gaps in data as to what is happening in the water between samples.
