Major Projects

For major projects like building demolitions, site remediation, construction on potentially contaminated sites, and substantial renovations, thorough testing is crucial. This testing can detect hazardous substances like lead, asbestos, mold, radon, and chemical residues in soil or groundwater.

Identifying these environmental hazards in advance allows you to develop appropriate containment, remediation, and work plans. You can also factor in the time and resources needed to address contaminant issues discovered during testing. We have extensive experience providing complete testing services for complex projects across a wide variety of industries and locations.

The Importance of Environmental Testing

Major Hazards and Contaminants

Our environmental experts utilize advanced methods and equipment to test for all major contaminants and hazards including:

Lead – We test paint, dust, soil and water for lead, especially in structures built before 1978 that may contain lead-based paint. Common testing methods include XRF testing, paint chip analysis, dust wipes, and soil/water sampling.
Asbestos – Our asbestos testing detects asbestos fibers in insulation, flooring, siding, and other building materials. We use polarized light microscopy (PLM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for airborne analysis.
Toxic Mold – We conduct detailed mold testing and analysis to identify problem areas with excessive moisture where mold growth could occur. Air, surface and material samples are tested.

Soil/Groundwater Contamination – We test soil borings and groundwater samples from sites with potential residual chemical contamination. Lab analysis identifies type and level of contaminants present.

Industrial Hygiene – For active manufacturing and industrial sites, we perform thorough air quality testing and analysis for potentially hazardous particulates, gases, and chemicals.
