Protecting the water environmental through proactive monitoring
Overview
Raincloud specialise in providing hydrological solutions across the lifetime of a construction project, including comprehensive water quality monitoring tailored to the project requirements. From post planning consents, construction and decommissioning, our services ensure environmental compliance, protection of sensitive watercourse and support sustainable development.
Drawing on best practices, we implement flexible and targeted monitoring strategies. This includes pre-construction baseline assessments, real-time monitoring during construction, and post-construction follow-up analyses.
Our methods are proportionate and scalable to the project and include:
Pollution prevention management plans
Portable in-situ instruments for pH, turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and more;
Fixed sensor systems for constant monitoring;
Laboratory analysis (UKAS-accredited); and
Targeted mitigation to protect the water environment
Sampling across the site both upstream and downstream, we establish the baseline conditions and detect any construction related impacts. This proactive data driven approach not only mitigates pollution risk but also demonstrates due diligence in line with regulatory expectations.
