Wastewater, Storm Water, and Groundwater Sampling

Astbury Water Technology, Inc. (Astbury) provides a full range of field sampling services for environmental compliance.  We pride ourselves on the technical and organizational capabilities upon which our company was founded.  Many field services require coordinating after-hours sampling efforts and managing sample hold times.  Our highly-trained and dedicated employees are willing and able to deal with the difficulties of unpredictable weather and the need for sampling at odd hours.


Astbury’s affiliated laboratory allows the flexibility needed to meet holding time requirements even when sampling needs to be conducted on weekends and holidays.

Field personnel are thoroughly trained in all aspects of field sampling and testing.  Emphasis is placed on the importance of chain-of-custody procedures, field safety, and sampling techniques.  We are knowledgeable about analytical requirements such as holding times and preservation procedures, and understand the importance of field documentation as described in United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) guidelines.

Astbury has performed routine wastewater, storm water, and groundwater sampling for over twenty five years.  Capabilities include all types of sample collection and field measurements, an extensive knowledge of flow measurement techniques, and the ability to simultaneously collect samples from a large number of discharge points.

In addition to sampling services, Astbury can help reduce wastewater surcharges and can save industrial customers money on industrial pre-treatment surcharges.  Over the years, we have developed techniques and strategies that not only reduce wastewater strength, but also save our customers thousands of dollars on sewer bills. 

Finally, we maintain a large inventory of all types of automated sampling and flow monitoring equipment for rent or sale.

 

Wastewater Sampling

Astbury has performed wastewater sampling since its inception.  We are experts at working in confined spaces and are meticulous about sampling accuracy, as most of our customers rely on our accurate data when calculating their pretreatment surcharges.  Additionally, we routinely install and calibrate flow meter equipment in concert with the installation of composite samplers.  Finally, our State-wide presence ensures the appropriate logistical coordination that wastewater sampling requires.

Storm Water Sampling

Storm water sampling requires great logistical preparation.  Astbury has successfully completed more than 500 storm water sampling projects of various sizes.  Many of these projects required simultaneous collection from multiple sample points.  Our dedicated field staff, extensive inventory of specialized storm water sampling equipment, and our knowledge of storm water regulations have made it possible for us to successfully complete more storm water projects than any other company in the State of Indiana.

Ultra-Low Level Mercury Sampling

Astbury has successfully completed ultra-low level mercury sampling projects using EPA Method 1669.  Several members of our field staff are trained in appropriate techniques for ultra-clean sampling and have successfully completed projects collecting 24-hour composite samples, achieving non-detectable blank concentrations and highly reliable data.  

Groundwater Sampling

Astbury routinely performs groundwater sampling projects for a variety of clients.  In many cases, these projects are carefully scrutinized and audited.  Our work has been widely praised by Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) field inspection personnel.
