[Acoustics] sontek velocity meter mount

[Gregory B Donley]

Hello,

      I need to install a Sontek SL on a stilling well structure that can
be easily removed at higher flows. The stilling well structure is mounted
to the bridge peir with numerous steel brackets. I have the sontek attached
to a 10 foot peice of uni-strut, and the uni-strut is protected by a peice
of heavy sign post, that is mounted to the  stilling well supports. This
mount has worked well, but you can only remove the Sontek at low stages,
because the bolts that hold the uni-strut are under water. I would
appreciate any suggestions anyone might have, and if you have pictures of
the way your velocity meter is mounted, please send them.

Thanks,
