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.
