Sediment Monitoring » Sediment Stability Assessment

Sediment transport in rivers, estuaries and the sea can give rise to a plethora of sediment management issues including unwarranted siltation, navigation channel depth reduction, water quality impairment and habitat degradation. If these sediments are contaminated, then there are even greater sediment management challenges, including risks to ecosystems and to human health. Knowledge of seabed or riverbed stability is central to understanding the impacts of sediment transport.

Our capability includes

  • In situ sediment stability measurements and mapping
  • Contaminant mobilisation studies
  • Model validation data acquisition
  • Benthic impact assessment
  • Site stability analysis including land applications
  • Laboratory flume studies
  • Field benthic flume studies

With over 20 years of experience in sediment stability measurement and analysis, Partrac offers tailored solutions to sediment stability problems. Combining desk studies and data mining with innovative field measurement systems, we promote an integrated approach to sediment stability assessment.
