Tutt Environmental Sevices

Like planting a tree to revegetate the land, Wetland Restore revegetates water bodies improving water quality, ecology and general waterway health with numerous environmental applications.

• Water quality improvement and nutrient uptake - wetlands are nature's water treatment system
• Ecological balance - wetlands and riparian zones are fundamental parts of a water body
• Habitat - for birds, insects, fish, frogs, crustaceans, etc
• Blue Green Algae Management - shading, cooling, nutrient uptake, habitat for zooplankton, surface for other attached green algae,
• Recreational fishing improvement as a fish attracting device (FAD)
• Carbon sequestration - blue or teal carbon sequestration via organic build up in water body sediments, with research suggesting the rate is potentially much greater than terrestrial methods
• Litter trap - configure into a bottle formation and place at a stormwater inflow point the wetland could act as a floating gross pollutant trap
• Bank protection - a line of wetlands deployed near bank to reduce wave energy hitting the shore.
• A recent article in Nature for interest, Phragmites australis treating water in Poland! (copy link to browser).

With over 20 years local experience, Tutt Environmental offers sound advice and can draw on his local network to bring efficiency and simplicity to jobs in the district. As an example, when a service locating may be required for soil investigations, Tim knows the local provider, or when you want water tested immediately Tutt Environmental has most sampling equipment on hand and can arrange for speedy delivery of samples to the Melbourne based NATA labs.

• Environmental Management Plans
• Environmental Assessments, planning developments, commercial builds, etc.
• Pollution investigations, air, water, soil, noise, odour.
• Legislator / regulator advice - turning what sometime seems a foreign language into plain English and advising on responses, including advice on what's fair and reasonable and what is excessive.

Beach Access Audit

Sometimes it's as simple as doing the math, or other times knowing the right tool for the job. Tims technical environmental knowledge helps analyse problems and work out practical solutions.

• Water, water & wastewater treatment, sourcing, re-use and disposal options, etc...
• Land, pollution, erosion, etc.
• Land Fill, groundwater impacts, leachate system, passive venting of landfill gas
• Monitoring, both in-situ i.e. sample collection, data loggers and sensors that can be remotely monitored via cellular networks.
• Odour, prevention and control, treatment, etc.

Tutt Environmental Engineering Services

Water quality advice and testing services, including in-situ testing and sampling for laboratory analysis in NATA accredited labs. Water can be tested for a wide range of parameters and can be very costly, careful consideration will help determine what the testing is for and what it will ultimately tell you. A link to a useful resource published by Water Watch Victoria is provided below.

• Private water supplies, i.e. home water tanks, bores etc.
• Industrial and commercial water / wastewater, EPA testing etc.
• Farm water supplies, bores, effluent ponds etc.
