Real-Time Water Monitoring Technology Built for Action
Flowlink combines independent monitoring, purpose-built hardware and software, project-specific rules, and automated flow control where required — so teams can see changing conditions as they happen, respond before a problem escalates, and keep a traceable record of what was measured and how the system responded.

The Challenge
Water Quality Can Change Quickly. Does Your Monitoring Keep Up?
Water quality at project sites and in receiving environments is not static. Treatment performance can shift, site conditions can change, and spills or other pollution events can occur between manual sampling events.
Manual sampling remains important, but it only confirms conditions at the time a sample is taken. Critical changes between samples may be missed. Non-compliant water can be discharged, environmental impacts can go undetected, treatment systems may not perform as expected, and teams may only learn about a problem after it has occurred.
Flowlink was created to close that gap.
High-frequency real-time monitoring makes changes in water quality, flow, and equipment status visible as they happen. Our intelligent alerting system helps teams respond quickly, and where automated flow control is configured, our systems stop discharge or reroute non-compliant water immediately. The supporting records show what was measured, when conditions changed, and how the Flowlink monitoring system and project team responded.
The Solution
More Than Monitoring. A Complete Solution
Flowlink brings together independent monitoring, field hardware, intelligent software, automated flow control where required, disciplined quality management, and expert support. Each solution is configured around the application, monitoring objectives, site conditions, and regulatory requirements.
Clients work with one accountable team from system design and commissioning through maintenance and ongoing support. Behind that work is Flowlink’s ISO 9001:2015-certified Quality Management System and an experienced team that takes responsibility for the performance of the complete solution.
The Technology
Patent-pending
From Changing Conditions to Informed Action
Flowlink’s patent-pending technology does more than display data. It transmits field measurements and system status to the Flowlink® platform in real time and, where automated flow control is configured, sends commands back to the on-site controller.

Impact
Better Information. Better Outcomes
When teams can see conditions as they change, they can act sooner, make decisions using current information, and retain the evidence needed to understand what happened.
Better Operational Decisions
See changing water quality, flow, and equipment status earlier, respond faster, and use real-time information to improve treatment, project operations, and water management decisions.
Greater Compliance Confidence
Identify conditions outside applicable criteria sooner and take corrective action. Where automated flow control is configured, the system can stop discharge or reroute water to reduce the risk of a non-compliant release. Maintain accurate, defensible records of monitored conditions, system performance, and response.
Stronger Environmental Protection
Detect unusual water-quality changes and potential pollution events sooner, investigate possible sources, and act before impacts escalate. Use real-time and historical data to better understand and protect receiving environments.
Our Purpose
Protecting Water Is Why We Exist
Flowlink was created to close a gap in construction water management: water quality could change between manual samples, and by the time a problem was discovered, the water may already have been discharged. We built technology that makes those changes visible in real time and, where automated flow control is configured, can stop discharge or reroute water not meeting the acceptable criteria before it reaches the receiving environment.
Today, that same purpose guides all of our work. Whether we are helping prevent a harmful discharge, investigate a pollution event, or understand longer-term changes in a waterway, our goal is the same: give people the information and tools to protect water while there is still time to make a difference.
Applications
From Discharge Control to Environmental Monitoring
Construction discharge, receiving waters, groundwater, and wastewater each require different measurements, rules, and responses. Flowlink combines its proven technology with the flexibility to configure each solution around the site conditions, monitoring objectives, and regulatory requirements.
Manage Water-Related Risks. Keep the Project Moving.
Monitor treated construction effluent, dewatering water, and nearby receiving waters in real time. Flowlink provides independent monitoring, user-selected alerts, and a traceable record of system performance. Where automated flow control is configured, it can stop discharge or reroute non-compliant water before it reaches the storm sewer or receiving environment.
Detect Changes Earlier. Protect Communities and Waterways.
Monitor water quality at selected locations, establish long-term trends, and alert staff when abnormal conditions occur. Flowlink brings monitoring station data together with rainfall, maps, historical conditions, photographs, field records, and QA/QC evidence so municipal teams can investigate possible spills, manage long-term watershed programs, and support capital projects.
Understand Your Discharge. Simplify Monitoring and Compliance.
Continuously monitor wastewater quality, flow, volume, and equipment status between lab or field samples. Flowlink can integrate compatible existing instruments, send each user the events relevant to their role, and bring monitoring data, laboratory results, compliance metrics, and permit-holder reports together in one platform.
Construction Effluent Monitoring & Control
Prevent Non-Compliant Discharge
Monitor treated construction discharge in real time and, where automated flow control is configured, stop discharge or reroute water when applicable compliance criteria are exceeded.
Surface Water Monitoring
See Environmental Change as It Happens
Monitor selected locations in creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds, and receiving environments to establish baselines, identify changing conditions, investigate incidents, and assess potential impacts.
Groundwater Monitoring & Control
Treat Water Only When Treatment Is Needed
Monitor dewatering effluent in real time and, where automated routing is configured, direct compliant water to discharge and non-compliant water to treatment.
Wastewater Monitoring
Simplify Compliance and Improve Process Control
Continuously monitor wastewater quality, flow, volume, and equipment status, respond to changing facility conditions, and produce the data and reports needed to support permit compliance.

Construction · Storm Water
“Six Flowlink systems were employed on one of our projects that required constant monitoring due to its proximity to sensitive ecosystems and fish-bearing streams. Having been an environmental monitor on many large-scale projects, this was the first project where the threat of an inadvertent release to the environment didn’t keep me up at night. The real-time monitoring, fail-safe flow control and alerts meant that I knew exactly what was going on with the treatment systems at all times. Thank you for helping to contribute to a successful project!”
