Turbidity measurement is commonly accepted as a surrogate for sediment monitoring because it is convenient and relatively simple. However, some cases may call for more precise measurement of sediment concentrations. For these situations, real-time monitoring systems for total suspended solids (TSS) or suspended sediment concentration (SSC) are available.
Many government and nonprofit agencies have worked to dredge and clean up the Buffalo River after years of industrial use.
Consultants are working with scientists in Kazakhstan to monitor, track and model ongoing marine construction on the shore of the Caspian Sea.
In an effort to dredge the contaminated sediment, a New York consulting firm contacted NexSens Technology for a turbidity monitoring system.
Buoy-based cellular data logging systems ensure that excessive amounts of contaminated sediment do not re-suspend into the water column.
NexSens engineered a buoy-based system with real-time data telemetry for monitoring turbidity during dredge projects.
