Soil contaminated by hazardous chemicals poses a significant risk to human health and the natural environment. Soil sampling and drilling helps organizations understand the true impact of their operations. This data enables informed decision making, allowing effective management of environmental risk.
SGS Soil Sampling and Drilling Services
Using the latest equipment and technical expertise, we offer a range of environmental drilling, soil and sediment sampling against both international and local standards.
Soil Sampling
Soil sampling and testing is generally conducted during a Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), to determine if subsurface contamination exists or has the potential to migrate to neighboring properties. SGS is able to assist you with the design and implementation of sampling and remediation plans depending on the extent of the investigation required.
