Comprehensive Water Quality Monitoring Solutions for Compliance and Environmental Protection

Whether it’s for stormwater management, sewer overflow monitoring, or compliance with industrial effluent discharges, a strong monitoring program is important.

The programs SFE develops does not only gather critical data but can also greatly minimizes costs related to environmental management and regulatory compliance. SFE Global utilizes its extensive expertise and technological knowledge to create and implement tailored systems that meet the specific needs of each client.

Importance of Water Quality Monitoring:

Continuous monitoring programs enable the early detection of specific parameters approaching critical levels, allowing for timely corrective actions. Furthermore, SFE’s monitoring programs can provide equipment that can often transmit data wirelessly to a data hosting platform, such as GoData, providing SFE and our clients with near-real-time alarms about approaching thresholds and parameter restrictions, as well as long term trend analysis. 

These proactive measures can prevent environmental damage and avert costly fines and clean-up efforts. The data collected also offers valuable insights for improving water management practices and policies. Effective water quality monitoring is vital for several reasons:

  • It supports the health of aquatic ecosystems,
  • It ensures safe drinking water,
  • It helps comply with environmental permit regulations set by governing authorities.

Water Quality Projects and Parameters

SFE Global provides a comprehensive array of services and equipment tailored to various water quality monitoring needs. From continuous data logging to automatic sampling of water quality parameters, our solutions are designed to deliver accurate and reliable data for informed decision-making. Our clients depend on this precise data to ensure the effectiveness of their implemented measures.

Our successful projects span a range of applications, including Low Impact Developments, which utilize or mimic natural processes to enhance stormwater infiltration and protect water quality while preserving aquatic habitats. We also work with the commercial and industrial sectors, where monitoring of manufacturing effluent is essential. This monitoring can occur either before or after treatment, prior to discharge into a drainage channel or municipal sewer.

Water Quality measurable parameters:

  • pH
  • Conductivity
  • Turbidity
  • temperature
  • Salinity

SFE Global’s progressive pigging together with SmartFoam are a winning approach to assess 19-miles of sewer force mains.

An Arizona city needed to ensure their twinned 24-inch 9.5-mile sewer force mains could handle increased inflow. SFE Global used the progressive pigging approach together with SmartFoam™ technology for a high-resolution condition assessment, identifying and addressing critical issues to enhance pipeline safety, reliability, and cost-effective maintenance.
