What we offer.

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. Our 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). In other cases, testing may be conducted using alternate protocols as required to meet the specialized needs of individual clients.  Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding specialized projects involving fine-grained sediments, mixtures of fine-grained and coarse-grained materials, inorganic precipitates, or industrial wastewaters. 

Though specializing in settling column testing, SCTCS Group LLC is available for consultation on other specialized projects and may perform additional testing or engineering services on a case-by-case basis. SCTCS Group LLC is licensed as a professional engineering firm in Louisiana.
