Water sampling
Revolutionize your water sampling methodology with SPH Engineering's drone-based water collection systems. Our aerial solutions enable environmental professionals to collect water samples from locations that are difficult, dangerous, or otherwise inaccessible by traditional methods. By eliminating the need for boats, bridges, or direct human access, our systems dramatically expand your sampling capabilities while reducing operational risks and logistical challenges.

Info
Our water sampling systems have been field-tested across diverse environments worldwide, from remote wilderness lakes to industrial retention ponds and contaminated sites.
The aerial approach to water sampling transforms traditional monitoring programs. Sites that once required expensive boat deployments, helicopter access, or were simply deemed too dangerous for sampling can now be routinely monitored. Environmental professionals can collect samples from precisely the same GPS coordinates on each visit, ensuring consistent data for trend analysis and regulatory reporting.
Whether you're conducting environmental research, monitoring water quality for compliance, or responding to contamination events, our water sampling systems provide the reliability, precision, and operational efficiency that environmental professionals demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What volume of water can be collected in a single flight?
Our standard water sampling system can collect up to 1 liter of water per flight. The precise volume can be adjusted based on project requirements and the specific drone platform being used. For projects requiring multiple samples or larger volumes, the system can be quickly reset between flights to maximize daily collection capacity.
From what depth can the system collect water samples?
Our water sampling systems are designed primarily for surface water collection, with the ability to sample from the top 30cm of the water column. For projects requiring depth-specific sampling, we offer specialized solutions that can collect samples at specific depths based on the length of the rope.
How does the system ensure sample integrity?
Our water sampling systems are constructed from laboratory-grade materials that prevent contamination of samples. The collection mechanism is designed to minimize aeration and exposure during sampling, and samples are secured in sealed containers immediately upon collection. The systems can be thoroughly cleaned between sampling events to prevent cross-contamination.
What drone platforms are compatible with your water sampling systems?
Our water sampling systems integrate with professional drone platforms, including DJI, Inspired Flight, Harris Aerial, and other drone manufacturers compatible with SkyHub. The modular design allows for adaptation to various platforms based on your specific requirements for flight time, payload capacity, and operational conditions.
What are the typical applications for drone-based water sampling?
Our systems are used for environmental monitoring in remote locations, sampling from contaminated sites where human access would pose health risks, routine compliance monitoring of industrial facilities, emergency response to spills or contamination events, research in ecologically sensitive areas where boat access would be disruptive, and sampling from dangerous locations such as tailings ponds or flood zones.
