Ground and surface water
Ground and surface water testing
We analyse groundwater, surface water, receiving waters, marine waters, and river waters for a wide range of contaminants and microorganisms to assess water conditions and quality.
Chemical screening for analytes
- Volatile organic compounds
- Semi-volatile organic compounds
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Ammonia, anions, and metals
- PFAS
- Microplastics
- Dioxins and PCBs
Microbiological testing
Water contaminated by human or animal excreta may contain a range of pathogenic micro-organisms, such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa. We can check for elevated microbiological counts in environmental waters to identify possible sewage contamination.
Nutrients analysis
We test environmental waters for nutrient levels (in particular nitrogen and phosphorus) to help establish trends and enable early resolution of contamination. The most common sample matrices for nutrient analysis are ground and surface waters.
Receiving water testing
Mussels are filter feeders and are known to concentrate contaminants such as metals and viruses. We can provide a testing service to monitor the health of a receiving water environment.
Marine and freshwater testing for recreational areas
We work with councils to ensure adherence to microbiological water quality guidelines for marine and freshwater recreational areas.
