Our Industrial Wastewater Survey Services

Targeted survey and assessment solutions for wastewater facilities, lagoons, tanks, and long-term maintenance planning.

Sediment Mapping

Advanced sonar and GPS mapping for noncovered ponds and lagoons, delivering 3D data on sludge depth, sediment volume, water depth, and settlement patterns to support dredging plans and operational decisions.

Feasibility Studies

Detailed wastewater system investigations that analyze waste streams, operating conditions, performance gaps, and improvement opportunities, helping facilities prioritize upgrades, reduce inefficiencies, and budget for corrective action.

Preventive Maintenance

Maintenance program planning for tanks and digesters that helps operators monitor condition, avoid major shutdowns, and maintain more consistent long-term facility performance.

Actionable Facility Insights

Clear Data for Better Wastewater Decisions

Industrial wastewater survey services give operators a clearer picture of what is happening below the surface and inside critical assets. Bristola combines field experience with practical reporting to identify sludge accumulation, performance issues, and maintenance priorities. The result is better planning, safer operations, and more confident decisions about cleaning, upgrades, budgeting, and long-term wastewater system reliability.

Portrait of Jared Burma, Founder of Bristola

Jared Burma

Founder

Jared Burma is the Founder of Bristola, a pioneering clean technology company he established in 2019 following a near-death experience inside a storage tank that forever changed his perspective on industrial safety. That life-altering moment ignited a passion to create a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional tank cleaning methods. Driven by a deep belief in the future of renewable clean energy, Jared transformed a bold Midwest idea into a global operation serving clients across the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and India. His vision led to the development of a patented, zero-human-entry robotic cleaning system that eliminates operational downtime and protects worker lives. Jared continues to lead Bristola with unwavering commitment to innovation, safety, and a cleaner future for industries worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are industrial wastewater survey services?

Industrial wastewater survey services evaluate the condition and performance of wastewater assets such as lagoons, ponds, tanks, and related systems. They can include sediment mapping, sludge measurement, feasibility studies, and maintenance planning. The goal is to give operators accurate data on buildup, capacity, and system issues so they can schedule cleaning, upgrades, or dredging before problems affect compliance, efficiency, or production.

Why is sediment mapping important for wastewater facilities?

What types of facilities can benefit from wastewater surveys?

What information is included in a wastewater survey report?

How often should industrial wastewater systems be surveyed?
