A 4" aluminum I-beam is used allow an ADVM to be raised and lowered on a stainless steel sled.  The I-beam also serves as a pedestal mount for electronics housing.

2" aluminum pipe, structural pipe fittings, and square tubing are utilized to create a dock servicable uplooking ADVM mount.

2" galvanzied pipe mated to a custom PVC clamp mount are used to fasten a horizontal ADVM.

Protective housing prevents damage to ADVM and allows for adjustment of heading and roll.

Temporary mount for installation of a horizontal ADVM under ice.  A large flange serves as a load bearing base plate with 2" pipe and pipe fittings being used to suspend the ADVM below.

6" PVC pipe is weighted to allow an ADVM/ADCP to be deployed in a vertical or "uplooker" configuration.

Diagram depicting stationing in midsection measurement where velocity measurements are acquired. Each station width is multiplied by the station depth and measured velocity to compute the discharge in each section. Section discharges are tabulated to compute a total discharge for the cross section.

Old custom made Kentucky-style mount on several different boats from Kentucky and Illinois deploying both Broadband (BB) and Rio Grande ADCPs. A pole can be fixed to the mount for deploying a GPS antenna located on top of the ADCP. The Kentucky-style mount constructed of Speed Rail is recommended for Rio Grande Workhorse, RiverPro, RioPro, and Sontek M9.
