Trident Monitoring Services Limited was established in 1999 because we saw an opportunity to use our diverse practical skills in waste reduction and treatment in the new environment created by the application of the Resource Management Act (1991).

Why are we called Trident?

There are three "teeth" in the Company - the three original directors Geoff Young, Kate Young and Greg Winter.

We have three prongs of attack on pollution and protection of the environment: Monitoring, consulting, and practical pre-treatment solutions.

Monitoring, because if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Environmental monitoring includes wastewater compliance monitoring, water quality, odour monitoring, and contaminated site assessment.

Consulting to businesses in how waste can be minimised, and assistance with resource consent and trade waste discharge consent applications.

Practical solutions to wastewater problems on site: pH neutralisation, fat traps, chemical recovery, and drainage condition assessment and rehabilitation.
