TSS has various meanings in the Construction category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of TSS in Construction.
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) refers to the dry-weight of particles suspended in a liquid, which are not dissolved. In the construction industry, TSS is a critical parameter for assessing water quality, especially in stormwater runoff from construction sites. High levels of TSS can lead to reduced sunlight penetration in water bodies, affecting aquatic life and water quality.
The measurement of TSS is essential for compliance with environmental regulations, ensuring that construction activities do not adversely affect nearby water bodies. Techniques for reducing TSS include sedimentation basins, silt fences, and other erosion control measures. These methods help in minimizing the environmental impact of construction projects, promoting sustainable development practices.
