Aanderaa Data Instruments AS (AADI), headquartered in Bergen, Norway, designs, manufactures and sells sensors, instruments and systems for measuring and monitoring long term observations of the marine environment. Main market areas are Marine Transportation, Oil and Gas, Aquaculture, Environmental Research, Road and Traffic and Construction.

ADS Environmental Services was established in Australia to orchestrate the installation of over 400 monitors networked to a central computer system in Sydney in 1990. At the time, this was the largest permanent flow monitoring network anywhere in the world. In 1994, ADS further expanded by establishing an office in Melbourne, Australia, conducting numerous short and long term monitoring projects. ADS continues to service clients across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia from this location. Today, ADS’ wastewater services include sewer flow monitoring, inflow & infiltration reduction, on-line monitoring systems, smoke testing and manhole inspections.
