Leading professionals in the field of settling column tests.SCTCS Group LLC was founded to fill the niche service of performing settling column testing of hydraulically dredged sediments and other material. We are among a small number of firms that offer settling column testing and data interpretation needed for the design of dredged sediment containment facilities, maintenance dredging operations, marsh creation, coastal restoration, coastal protection, and barrier island construction/ restoration projects. We facilitate the collection of data and the data interpretation needed to make timely design and operational decisions. Centrally located for many clients on the northern Gulf Coast, we are also equipped to receive sediment and water samples from throughout the US for testing in our laboratory.
SCTCS Group LLC is licensed as a professional engineering firm in Louisiana and is certified as a Small Entrepreneurship under the State of Louisiana Hudson Initiative. The founder and principal of SCTCS Group LLC, Dr. Bill Moe, earned a doctorate in Civil Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Moe has directly performed and supervised dozens of pilot-scale settling tests conducted in support of fine-grained sediment slurry dredging operations. The SCTCS Group LLC laboratory is fully equipped to perform pilot-scale settling column tests using US Army Corps of Engineers Testing protocols (e.g., EM 1110-2-5027) and other methods. Many geotechnical and environmental engineering firms lack the in-house facilities, equipment, or expertise to perform and interpret results from such tests. By teaming with SCTCS Group for these specialized services, firms can complement their in-house capabilities with the confidence that their testing will be performed in a timely and professional manner by a highly qualified and experienced staff. |
