Unlock high-precision sediment insights with our smart environmental testing platform—tailored for industry, compliance, and sustainability
Real-time monitoring and analysis of sediment quality to support regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and ecological protection.
Sediment Quality Analysis for Compliance, Restoration, and Ecosystem Health
High-quality sediment analysis plays a crucial role in understanding aquatic ecosystems, guiding restoration projects, and meeting environmental compliance goals. Modern solutions now integrate chemical, physical, and biological assessments to provide a holistic view of sediment health. These systems support data-driven decisions in industries such as construction, waste management, marine ecology, and environmental consulting. Leveraging cloud-connected analytics and robust hardware, businesses can now achieve real-time insights with improved accuracy and reliability.
Enviro Test Solutions, in collaboration with GAO Tek and GAO RFID, delivers B2B sediment quality analysis systems across North America. Our advanced technology enables consistent monitoring of pollutant levels and supports sustainable site remediation efforts. By merging decades of environmental testing expertise with innovative tools, we help organizations comply with regulatory standards while advancing long-term ecological goals. With a strong presence in diverse sectors, Enviro Test Solutions stands as a trusted partner for comprehensive sediment evaluation solutions.

Case Studies
Case Study 1 – United States: Coastal Dredging Assessment, Louisiana
A major port authority in Louisiana collaborated with Enviro Test Solutions to evaluate sediment quality before a large-scale dredging project. Using our portable samplers and EnviroSync™, the team identified zones with elevated mercury levels, allowing safe and strategic sediment removal. This enabled the client to meet U.S. EPA standards without project delays.
Case Study 2 – United States: River Restoration Monitoring, Ohio
An environmental consulting firm used our system to track sediment quality over a two-year period in a previously polluted river. Our cloud services enabled continuous data sharing with federal agencies, helping the firm demonstrate long-term environmental recovery, resulting in a successful clean water grant renewal.
Case Study 3 – Canada: Mining Impact Evaluation, British Columbia
A Canadian mining company partnered with Enviro Test Solutions to monitor sediment impacts downstream from its operations. The real-time alerts and mobile dashboards helped the client quickly adapt discharge practices, ensuring compliance with provincial guidelines and enhancing community trust
