FTS designs complete, turn-key systems for a variety of water quality and water quantity applications. Our systems are based upon two key technologies that deliver rugged reliability in any environment, simplicity of operation, low maintenance costs, and extremely accurate data. The Axiom™ datalogger and DCP offers a powerful computer and the right software for the job, accessed via a built-in, fully waterproof, industrial-grade touchscreen. The DTS-12 is the first sensor to make turbidity monitoring practical, delivering high accuracy across it's entire range, and incredibly low maintenance requirements (once per year).
We combine these technologies with water level sensors, software, telemetry, a wide range of other meteorological sensors, autonomous power systems, custom-designed, heavy-duty enclosures, and mounting platforms. The result is a completely turn-key system designed for seamless integration, installed and supported by a single organization—offering a single source for obtaining support and service.
We can design and build, to your specifications, extremely rugged and simple to operate stream gauging and hydromet systems.
For continuous instream turbidity monitoring applications, our StreamWatch systems provide the World's Best Instream Turbidity Sensor, the DTS-12, controlled by our rugged and simple Axiom datalogger. StreamWatch systems can be configured with flexible early warning detection capabilities to fire alarms via email or SMS messaging upon one or more conditions being met.
SedEvent™ is our unique event-triggered grab sampling system, which provides the most accurate estimate of sediment loads.
Our portable QD ("Quick Deploy") systems provide an ideal solution for temporary turbidity monitoring needs, such as construction sites and other land development projects that require a turn-key method of monitoring sediment discharges to minimize the impact on nearby water bodies. It's a completely self-contained system that sets up in 15 minutes without tools or training.
