Wastewater, Storm Water, and Groundwater Sampling

Astbury Water Technology, Inc. (AWT) provides a full range of field sampling services for environmental compliance.  AWT prides itself on the technical and organizational capabilities upon which the company was founded.  Many field services require coordinating after-hours sampling and hold time management.  Our dedicated staff navigates the logistical difficulties of unpredictable weather, off-hour sampling, and multiple sampling sites to consistently deliver results.


The flexibility of Astbury’s affiliated laboratory enables us to meet difficult hold time requirements during challenging weekend and holiday sample events.

AWT's field personnel has extensive experience in field sampling and testing and are well versed in the importance of chain-of-custody procedures, proper sampling techniques, sample hold time and preservation, safety protocol and 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 to save industrial customers money on industrial pretreatment surcharges.  Over the years AWT has 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.
