Erosion Threshold Velocity Testing Services
Erosion Threshold Velocity Testing is a testing service designed to determine the critical water flow velocity at which erosion of soil surfaces or materials may begin. The test results are used to assess a material’s susceptibility to erosion, validate the design of landforms and drainage systems, and determine appropriate erosion control strategies.
Erosion Threshold Velocity Testing for Assessing Scour Potential
Testing to determine the threshold flow velocity at which erosion or scour may begin to occur in soil materials. The testing provides site-specific data to support scour risk assessment and hydraulic design.
Determining threshold flow velocity to help assess scour potential in specific soil materials.
ETV data can be used to support scour risk assessment and the design of water control structures.
Measuring Flow Velocity Limits Before Scour Occurs
Erosion Threshold Velocity (ETV), also referred to as maximum permissible velocity, is the threshold flow velocity above which scour may potentially occur in a specific soil material.
Erosion Threshold Velocity Testing
The testing is designed to generate site-specific ETV data that can be used for scour assessment and design requirements.
Sampling Location Selection
Identifying suitable soil sampling locations for the testing program.
Soil Sampling
Collecting large surface soil samples in an undisturbed condition.
Controlled Flume Testing
Testing soil samples under controlled overland flow conditions in a laboratory setting.
ETV Measurement
Determining the Erosion Threshold Velocity based on the testing results.
Data Interpretation
Interpreting ETV results to support technical and environmental design requirements.
Scour Risk Assessment
Using ETV data as site-specific information to assess potential scour risks.
Site-Specific Data for Scour Risk Assessment
Testing is conducted using undisturbed surface soil samples subjected to controlled overland flows to determine ETV values.
Supporting Water Control Structure Design and Assessment
ETV data can be used as site-specific information to support hydraulic design and reduce scour risks.
Hydraulic Structures
Supporting hydraulic structure design based on threshold flow velocity information.
- Channels
- Culverts

Rehabilitated Landforms
Supporting scour risk assessment for rehabilitated landforms.
Extending the Value of ETV Data Across Project Areas
ETV values obtained from soil samples can be combined with additional geotechnical and geophysical testing to develop statistical relationships with more readily measurable soil properties.
