Additionally, we operate the largest UKAS ISO 17025 accredited asbestos testing laboratory in the UK which is operational 7 days a week and 16 hours per day. As an internal resource, the laboratory provides assurances that we have the capacity to deliver projects in quick timescales, whilst consistently maintaining quality control.
The lab provides asbestos sample identification using polarised light microscopy (PLM), as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) which provide a greater level of accuracy than the methods used by the majority of UK asbestos laboratories, and includes a stand-alone soils laboratory for the qualitative and quantitative identification of asbestos in soils.
Asbestos survey and analytical data is captured using our internally designed NexGen survey app and can be utilised to instantly share data with our project and technical support teams back in our UK based lab as soon as the asbestos survey and monitoring is completed for processing through our systems workflow for delivery of the survey report.
