• Home FTS designs and manufactures continuous and event-triggered hydrological systems for monitoring turbidity as a surrogate for suspended sediment concentration. Our rugged systems are used for watershed hydrology and construction site monitoring.

• Applications FTS designs and manufactures continuous and event-triggered hydrological systems for monitoring turbidity as a surrogate for suspended sediment concentration. Our rugged systems are used for watershed hydrology, construction site monitoring, stream gauging and hydromet applications.
• Application Examples Examples of real-time early warning water quality monitoring, suspended sediment load monitoring and hydromet monitoring.
• Why Instream Turbidity Monitoring? An analysis of the many reasons it's important to monitor turbidity in our natural waterways.

• Systems FTS designs and manufactures continuous and event-triggered hydrological systems for monitoring turbidity as a surrogate for suspended sediment concentration. Our rugged systems are used for watershed hydrology monitoring and construction site monitoring.
• SedEvent™ SedEvent is the world's first fully integrated event-triggered grab sampling system. It captures a series of strategic water samples upon detection of a turbidity event, resulting in better water quality data.
• System Components SedEvent is a fully integrated system built primarily around an Axiom datalogger, DTS-12 turbidity sensor and ISCO portable autosampler.
• How it Works SedEvent intelligently takes water samples only during an event, allowing better correlation to suspended sediment concentration.
• Key Benefits SedEvent brings simplicity to accurate calculation of sediment loads.
• The Evolution of Sediment Monitoring Event-driven grab sampling is the evolution of manual grab sampling.
• Turbidity Monitoring for Construction Sites Continuous turbidity monitoring systems that are portable and easily set up without any training. Ideal for temporary monitoring at construction sites as now mandated by the EPA.

• Products FTS designs and manufactures a variety of extremely rugged products for hydrology monitoring. Dataloggers, DCPs, sensors, remote communications.
• Axiom™ Dataloggers/DCPs The Axiom datalogger / DCP. Tough on the outside, clever on the inside.
• Flexibility and Expandability The Axiom is flexibile enough to connect to any sensor, and software upgrades provides the rugged hardware a long life.
• Extreme ruggedness Reliability is paramount because downtime means lost data and increased liability, so the Axiom is engineered for long-term durability in the harshest environments.
• Rapid Site Visits By embedding the datalogger software right into our sixth-generation datalogger, we were able to meet our customers’ predominant desire: less time spent doing site visit tasks.
• Reliable Connections We pioneered the use of military-style bayonet connectors for attaching external devices to our dataloggers.
