Structure of EDGE

The software is split into Tabs, each tab provides a means to provide you with information about what is required and for you to enter information about the monitoring you have done to meet the requirement. The tab names are in the main self explanatory but the following is a summary:

Equipment Calibration – Means by which calibration data can be recorded for field instruments such as the Field Pen and the gas analyser

Activities – Questions or instruction that are required to be addressed at the monitoring point

Water Levels – Measurement of water levels in boreholes and in surface water bodies

Water Levels Form – Enables the population of the Water Levels table tab using a form structure

Field Samples – Record of sampling and also field analysis results

Field Samples Form – Enables the population of the Field Samples table tab using a form structure

Landtec– Tab into which the Geotechnical Instruments analyser data files are imported, whether from a GA2000 or GA5000 series machine.

Soil Gas – Tab into which other gas measurement can be entered such as Gastec and suction, or flow if using a non Geotechnical Instruments meter

Discharge Form – This is a form equivalent to the Field Samples Form that provides additional options for completion relating to the conditions at the site at the time the discharge is sampled. This form replaces the paper version previously in use.

Waste Sample Form - This form is provided to enable information about solid waste samples to be recorded as part of the CEMEX Duty of Care procedures. Specific instructions for completing this form are provided in Section Waste Sampling - Duty of Care Tab

NMHA Form – This tab is a form that enables the recording of Near Miss Hazard Alert information. This form should be used differently according to the type of site that the hazard relates to. Please see Section ??

Flow – This tab is used to enable flow data to be entered into the database. There are two ways this is used. Firstly to enter meter readings from turbine or electro magnetic flow meters and secondly through automated entries from the Flow Measurement tab (see below).

Flow Measurement – Data collected on direct measurement of flow are entered into this tab, e.g. streamflow measurements. Data entered into this tab are summed for each location and then the total for the location automatically entered into the Flow tab.

History: DTW – The History: depth to water tab contains a table of historical water levels provided from the database through the EDGE EDD. The information is charted to show the historical results of monitoring at each location where a water level is required. The tab is not viewed directly because it is replicated and displayed at the bottom of the Water Level tab for assessment during new dip measurements.

Location – Information about each of the locations to be monitored. Required for information only unless photographs of the locations are to be submitted

The content and data entry requirements for each are provided below.
