ELAB has delivered its rapid 5 day turnaround on 98.5% of all contaminated land and water analysis so far in 2022. This reliable service helps clients consistently comply with regulations and meet strict timescales, making Cawood Environment the business of choice for specialist contaminated land and water analysis in the UK.
‘Our excellent reputation for rapid and timely delivery of results makes us the most reliable business in the industry,’ said Declan Burns, Managing Director of Cawood Environment. ‘Our 98.5% successful delivery rate is even more impressive when you consider that other laboratories promise the same turnarounds on analyses, but only deliver on them around 80% of the time. Most of our contaminated land clients are in the construction and development industries, which can be quite unpredictable. Developers often work to short timescales, so knowing they can have reliable 5 day turnaround at no extra cost is invaluable for our customers and their clients.’
Contaminated land analysis is important for environmental protection and structural maintenance. Continuously evolving environmental regulations means that there are legislative requirements to test land for contamination levels before it can be developed upon. Necessary remediation actions can then be taken to bring the land back to safe use.
Cawood Environment, a division of Cawood, provides a range of services to help developers achieve planning consent, remain compliant, and safeguard the environment. These soil, water, and leachate services include toxic metals, organic contaminants, persistent pollutants, soil/water quality indicators, gas/soil vapour, and asbestos screening and quantification analysis.
‘Success stories like these really cement Cawood’s reputation as the UK’s leading scientific group for the land-based industries,’ continued Declan. ‘All our teams at ELAB, Chemtech, and Marchwood work extremely hard day in, day out, to provide rapid and reliable services for our clients. We are proud of the relationships we have with our customers, and of this year’s consistently high success rate. We are committed to helping our customers meet their goals and maintain compliance whilst supporting a safer, healthier planet, and our dependable specialist contaminated land analysis and environmental services help us do just that.’
