Flow and quality monitoring for the wastewater industry is where EDS began, and decades later it’s still the heart of what we do.

Today we’re Australia’s largest service contractor for water and wastewater monitoring studies, short and long term.

Whatever you need to measure, we have the equipment and the people, from a single EC point to thousands of instruments reporting in real time.
