California State Certified Mobile Laboratory
California State Certified Mobile Laboratories
EST owns and operates three California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) certified mobile environmental laboratories specializing in the analysis of soil gas, soil, and water for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) including solvents, fuels, and ful additives using Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) according to EPA Method 8260B. EST is also equipped to analyze soil samples for our clients according to EPA Method 5035 protocol for VOCs. Our certified mobile laboratories support soil gas survey programs for our clients and perform on site analyses for soil and groundwater contamination assessments, vapor intrusion risk assessments, remedial feasibility studies and investigations, environmental due-diligence requirements for property acquisitions, and many other areas of environmental assessment and corrective action.
The EST Advantage:
- California ELAP-certified laboratory analysis
- Real-time evaluation for soil gas purge volumes to optimize data quality objectives
- Soil gas detection levels to residential CHHSLs and extremely competitive costs
- Highly effective for vapor intrusion risk assessment real-time evaluation of VOC contaminant concentrations of soil, soil gas and groundwater
- On-site analysis to assure sample integrity and reduced sample degradation (loss of VOCs)
- Avoid wasted time and expense of unnecessary sampling and analysis
- Computerized data compilation for fast results and quick decisions
- Multiple Electronic Deliverable Data (EDD) formats including GeoTracker
ELAP-Certified Laboratory Analysis
