Soil and Groundwater Testing
TGEN work closely with a number of UKAS/MCERTS laboratories who undertake testing of soil and groundwater samples generated during the our intrusive investigations. TGEN also manage the testing and reporting of samples sent to us on an analysis only basis. Testing suites are generally generated on a site specific basis as a result of visual and olfactory observations from the intrusive investigation.
We also offer a number of standard analysis packages, which are often useful for providing baseline information or for preliminary investigations. Details of a selection of these packages are outlined below.
