www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 35 The company has established a global network of distributors for its products in more than 50 countries. Numerous GA systems and applica- tions are installed and operating throughout all continents. Technology Profile: GA is producer of unique ultrasonic level gauge and wave measurement systems for labo- ratory and outdoor applications. The capability to measure dynamic water surfaces with high resolution enables different applications for Ship Model Basins, Simulation Facilities - Hydraulic Laboratories, Water Resources Management, Harbour-, River- and Coastal Management, Coastal Defense, Hydrography, Oil- and Gas Industry. GA developed a proprietary technology to measure, evaluate and visualize complex flows (up to 3D). This generates high qual- ity results on the basis of few measur- ing data. An application of this tech- nology is the GA software product LOG_aFlow to generate high quality flow charts for harbors, coastal zones and inland waters. International patents for key technology and relat- ed software have been applied for by GA. Well known products are the Tide and Wave Gauge LOG_aLevel (Test Winner RIZA 05) and the UltraLab systems for Wave measure- ment in Hydraulic Laboratories.
