Ambient Air Monitoring

We can help implement and manage your monitoring needs from beginning to end.

Are you looking to build a new facility or reclaiming an old mine? Think you might need an ambient air monitoring station, or a meteorological station? Bison Engineering can help with that! We have been building and operating ambient air and meteorological monitoring networks since our beginnings in 1980. Our monitoring work includes projects throughout the Western U.S. with extensive experience in the Rocky Mountain Region and the Pacific Northwest. We have also done work farther afield, in locations like Florida, Pennsylvania and California.
