Waterfront operators need the help of reliable scientific analyses to successfully maintain dredged channels and marinas. A properly designed and executed field-sampling program is critical for collecting accurate data for any dredged material evaluation.
ARCADIS has established a national reputation for managing dredging studies and for efficiently and cost-effectively evaluating disposal alternatives. Our team of experienced sediment experts offers the multidimensional skills needed to design, perform and interpret effective sediment assessments that support sound disposal alternatives.
Our dredged material and sediment program manages dredged material projects from the project planning stages through the final permitting, including:
- Project design
- Field sampling, testing and reporting
- Bioassay
- Chemistry analyses
- Risk assessment
- Data services
Results-oriented field studies
ARCADIS’ sediment field teams have collected tens of thousands of sediment cores and implemented sampling programs for many types of media, including surface water, pore water and bioaccumulation studies. Our samplers maintain a working knowledge of all sampling equipment, and offer custom scuba sampling for projects that cannot accommodate small boat operations.
ARCADIS provides an integrated approach to understanding the regulatory environment surrounding the field sampling process, and with our proven track record of working with industry and U.S. regulatory agencies, we are skilled at helping clients develop sound strategic directions for complex project sites.
