Here’s what’s included in our Technical Services:
1. Sampling, Testing & Monitoring
- Monitoring Program Design: Tailored programs based on site specifics, public health, and environmental licence requirements.
- Routine Monitoring Programs: Covers potable water, groundwater, stormwater, irrigation, recycled water, effluent, trade waste, and landfill leachate.
- Field Sampling: NATA-accredited procedures using EASI-sample kits for integrity and litigation protection.
- Lab Liaison & Reporting: Coordination with Symbio lab; interpretive reports with trend analysis and operational recommendations.
2. Planning & Development Support
- Environmental Management Plans: Site-specific plans covering risks, emergency procedures, and reporting templates.
- Development Applications & Licensing: Support with preparing and negotiating environmental approvals.
- Environmental Modelling: Use advanced simulation tools to assess stormwater, effluent irrigation, and site-specific risks—supporting development applications, licensing, and long-term planning decisions.
- Integrated Water Management Advice: Practical, long-term solutions for regional and remote operations.
3. Environmental Assessment & Analysis
- Environmental Modelling: Predict environmental impacts using advanced simulation tools (e.g. XPRAFTS, MUSIC, HYDRUS) to support planning, licensing, and sustainable water management decisions.
- Complex Environmental & Public Health Monitoring: Tailored programs to assess impacts from development and operations—covering sample collection, lab coordination, and interpretive reporting for compliance, trend analysis, and corrective action planning.
- Environmental Risk & Impact Assessments: Predictive modelling and analysis of water, soil, flora, fauna, and amenity impacts.
- Litigation Investigations: Expert witness services and analytical reports for environmental court matters.
- Treatment Plant Process Design: Conceptual and technical designs focused on ease of operation and lifecycle efficiency.
- Engineered Solutions: Full design and commissioning of municipal water and desalination plants, sewage and wastewater, trade waste, recycled water, stormwater and pool treatment systems.
- Treatment Plant Optimisaion & Validation Studies: Evaluate and fine-tune treatment systems through pilot studies, filtration trials, and performance testing to ensure efficiency, compliance, and readiness for real-world operation.
- On-Site Testing: Leak testing, tracer studies, hydraulic checks, and NATA-accredited SOTR testing.
- Treatment Plant Commissioning: Controlled start-up, fault resolution, and operator training.
- Process Commissioning & Performance Proving: Ensures water quality and hydraulic capacity are met.
- O&M Manuals: Easy-to-read operation & maintenance guides complimenting the operator training.
- Engineers Certificate & Commissioning Report: Certifies the process is fit for purpose and readiness for handover.
