  • TestAmerica provides analyses of soil, groundwater and building debris working cooperatively with a national consulting engineering firm to support the decommissioning of a major nuclear power facility. TestAmerica maintains NRC materials handling licenses and provides for the safe handling of all samples taken during the decommissioning process. Samples are analyzed for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOC), Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Metals and Wet chemistry parameters.
  • TestAmerica continues to offer support to a global environmental consulting firm conducting investigation and remediation of land contaminated with by-products from manufactured gas plant operations. TestAmerica provides analytical services that include the analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) as well as total particulates and metals in air samples using NIOSH methods: NIOSH 1501, NIOSH 5506, NIOSH 0500 and NIOSH 7300. Data provided is used to support risk assessments for a nearby residential area.
  • TestAmerica provides support to a major Texas based power company for their transformer maintenance and spill remediation programs. Daily support requires routine analysis of a large number of transformer oil samples for PCBs to ensure compliance with EPA regulations and to address clean-up of contaminated sites.
  • TestAmerica provides analytical services for groundwater compliance monitoring at multiple locations for a large energy company with operations throughout New Jersey. Sites range from active, operating substations to closed manufactured gas plant (MGP) facilities. Site-specific analytical programs encompass testing for organic, inorganic, general chemistry, biological, and monitored natural attenuation parameters. TestAmerica field service teams provide low-flow groundwater sample collection services in accordance with NJDEP Field Sampling protocols following client specific site safety protocols.
  • TestAmerica provides analytical support on a large remediation effort for a large energy company located in the southeastern United States. This project requires daily sample delivery to the lab, encompassing a 2-3 year project life cycle. All samples are analyzed for a variety of metals and inorganic parameters on an accelerated turnaround basis so that ongoing disposal and treatment decisions can be made, minimizing costly project interruptions. Client specific QA protocols have been established to meet data usability requirements and all data is provided in a Level IV data package. Customized multi-file EQUIS deliverables are included with the delivery of each data set. Total number of samples exceeds 500 per month on average.
