The chain-of-custody soil tracking platform built for municipal utilities and the contractors who move the earth
From Source to Final Disposal — Every Ton. Every Truck. Every Time.
TerraVault by Entuber · entuber.com
Municipal utility capital programs and earthwork contractors move millions of tons of excavated material every year — yet most of it is still tracked by paper logs, handwritten manifests, and reconciled weeks later in spreadsheets. The gap between physical movement and documented record is where cost overruns, regulatory exposure, and disputes are born.
Disputes with regulators cost time, money, and project delays. Missing signatures or illegible records can invalidate an entire disposal event.
Dispatchers are flying blind. Overruns go undetected until the invoice arrives — often weeks after the damage is done.
One misrouted load can trigger a remediation event worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and mandatory project suspension.
"A single non-compliant soil disposal event in Connecticut can carry fines exceeding $50,000 and mandatory project suspension."
MDC, MWRA, and water utility capital programs generate millions of tons of excavated material per decade — tracked today by paper logs and spreadsheets. Regulatory defensibility is not optional; it's existential.
DMR Materials, True Blue Environmental, and haulers like them sign manifests for every load — but reconciling paper against invoices takes weeks and introduces significant billing risk.
TerraVault is a cloud-native, mobile-first platform that tracks every cubic yard of excavated material from source excavation through transfer facility to final disposal — with a tamper-proof digital record at every step. Designed to meet CT-DEEP and EPA format requirements out of the box, TerraVault eliminates paper friction and brings enterprise-grade compliance to the field.
Replace paper Bills of Lading with legally admissible digital manifests that match CT-DEEP and EPA format requirements. Every signature is timestamped and hash-verified.
Offline-capable app for inspectors, truck drivers, and facility operators. Works in dead zones and syncs automatically the moment connectivity is restored — no data lost.
Anomaly detection, automated invoice reconciliation, and predictive dispatch built in. Flags discrepancies in seconds — not weeks — with full reason-code documentation.
TerraVault creates an unbroken digital thread from the moment a bucket breaks ground to the moment a certificate of disposal is issued. Every handoff is logged, signed, and timestamped — creating a compliance package that stands up to regulatory review and legal scrutiny.
Each node in the chain generates a cryptographically linked record — ensuring that no step can be altered retroactively. From classification at the source to the final certificate, every ton is accounted for.
Built for the realities of active construction sites — intermittent connectivity, muddy gloves, and time pressure — TerraVault's mobile app was designed with field crews at the center. Inspectors, drivers, and facility operators get everything they need in one intuitive interface, whether they're online or completely off the grid.
Works with zero connectivity — syncs automatically and securely when signal returns. No lost records, no manual catch-up.
Driver and inspector sign on-screen — no printer, no paper, no disputes about whether the form was signed.
Attach photos of soil condition, bin location, or site concerns directly to the load record — geotagged and timestamped.
Drivers receive dispatch alerts; supervisors receive anomaly warnings in real time. Everyone stays in the loop without phone calls.
TerraVault's real-time dashboards give dispatchers, project managers, and compliance officers a single pane of glass across all active projects. No more calls to the field to get a load count. No more waiting for end-of-day reports to discover a budget overrun.

Live truck map, load queue, and ETA countdown. Know exactly where every truck is and when each load will arrive — without a single phone call.
Progress vs. budget, daily load rate, and material classification breakdown. Catch overruns and material reclassifications before they become change orders.
Manifest completeness percentage, anomaly log, and pending lab results. Generate a regulatory-ready compliance package in minutes, not days.
TerraVault's AI layer doesn't replace human judgment — it amplifies it. Every recommendation surfaces actionable intelligence based on real load data, weight readings, GPS tracks, and invoice lines. Your team makes the call; TerraVault makes sure they have the right information to make it fast and confidently.
"Truck T-112 consistently reports 3–4 tons under gross weight at Site A. TerraVault flags it automatically for your review." Prevents overbilling, misrouting, and scale fraud — before they hit the invoice.
AI extracts invoice line items from PDF, matches them to load records by truck, date, and tonnage, and flags every discrepancy with a reason code — in seconds. What used to take a billing analyst two weeks takes TerraVault two minutes.
Forecast bin fill rates, predict Scale-03 queuing at 11:40 AM, and recommend diverting 3 trips to Scale-01 — before the bottleneck forms. Real savings in idle-truck time and fuel, every shift.
TerraVault was architected from day one for the compliance, security, and integration requirements of public sector utilities and their enterprise contractors. Every access event is logged. Every record is tamper-evident. Every integration is built on open, auditable standards.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) on every login
- 13 role-based access levels (RBAC)
- SSO via SAML / OAuth / OpenID Connect
- Full audit trail: every action, every user, timestamped and hash-chained
- WORM-archived compliance reports — tamper-proof and court-admissible
- SAP ERP (OData v4) — Project and PO sync
- Esri ArcGIS — GIS map layer integration
- Geotab Telematics — Live GPS fleet data
- Mettler-Toledo Scales — Automatic weight capture
- Lab Systems — SFTP EDD parser for sample results
- Identity Providers — Azure AD, Okta, and others
TerraVault was designed in partnership with the people who live this problem every day — compliance officers at public utilities, dispatch managers at hauling companies, and project engineers at remediation firms. It fits the workflows they already use, not the other way around.
- Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) — Hartford, CT (current client)
- MWRA-class programs managing capital infrastructure across multi-year excavation programs
- Environmental compliance officers, project managers, and field inspectors
- Environmental compliance officers overseeing remediation events and disposal audit trails
- Haulers and earthwork contractors running 10–200 trucks
- Transfer facility operators managing stockpile bins and receiving gates
- Environmental remediation firms: TRC, ECI, Clean Earth Capital
- Hazardous waste handlers including Clean Harbors
