Dredge and Bioaugmentation Monitoring

Smarter Dredging and Bioaugmentation Starts with the Best Data

At Hydrasurvey, we help you:

Targeted monitoring ensures every dollar goes toward high-impact zones.

Understand present sludge levels to set benchmarks and budgets

Validate progress, adjust plans or budgets as needed

Confirm results and measure amount removed / treatment success

These maps provide a clear visual representation of sludge accumulation in your wastewater treatment system.

Used before and after dredging, they highlight how much sludge was removed and where the buildup remains.

These maps allow contractors to pinpoint key areas of concern and increase dredging efficiency while on-site.

What’s Included in Your Survey

Sludge Blanket Thickness Maps

Sludge blanket thickness maps provide a clear visual of where your sludge buildup occurs and how it’s distributed across the bottom of your lagoon or pond. These maps are an excellent visual when dredging, they display what progress has been completed.
3D Sludge and Sediment Maps

3D sludge / sediment maps are provided to display your lagoon or ponds sludge characteristics. They can be provided to contractors for improved efficiency.
GNSS Liner Maps

We manually measure the liner using a GNSS mounted survey rod to provide you with liner elevation maps. This also increases the accuracy when quantifying sludge and sediment volumes.

Sludge & Sediment Samples

We collect and test, at an accredited lab, sludge or sediment samples to determine composition. Composition is required to calculate sludge / sediment volume and provide you with dredging disposal options.
RTK GNSS Positioning

Using RTK GNSS positioning to map your sludge or sediment blanket provides you to the most accurate data.
Virtual Site Tour

Our site tours include an aerial map or panoramic photos captured during the survey, with inset images highlighting key findings. This helps identify mechanical or infrastructure issues that might be missed from a single vantage point.
