Water quality determination

Determining water quality involves sampling and chemical analytical testing to determine groundwater quality. The results form the basis for remediation advice, permit processes, and discharge conditions.

Monster name and analysis

Water
Monster name

Groundwater samples are taken via pressure tubes by our own certified field workers. Analyses are performed in the laboratory. We look for contaminants such as heavy metals, mineral oil, volatile aromatics, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, depending on the historical profile of the location.
Water
Water types and analyses

Groundwater, (agricultural) runoff and drainage water, cooling water, process water and industrial wastewater. We prepare the monitoring plans and perform all measurements with our own personnel and equipment. Analyses include, among other things, COD, crop protection products (GBM's), nutrients, germ count, PFOS/PFOA and pathogens.

How do we proceed?

1. Historical research as a basis

For each field survey, we first conduct a historical preliminary study. Based on this, we determine which parameters are relevant and how deep we need to measure.

2. Field work by own team

Our certified field workers install level pipes, take samples, and perform measurements on-site. Because we do not employ contractors, the lines are short and quality is guaranteed.

3. Analysis and reporting

Results are analyzed by our advisors. You will receive a clear report with the measurement values, conclusions, and concrete follow-up steps.

How deep are the measurements?

As a standard procedure, we investigate down to approximately 5 meters, with level pipes placed at approximately 4 meters. In the event of suspected heavier contaminations (for example, chlorinated substances that can penetrate deeper), we investigate down to 10 or 20 meters.

Under what standards do you operate?

For exploratory soil and groundwater investigations, we follow NEN 5740. For asbestos in soil, we use NEN 5707. Sampling is carried out under BRL 2000 (exploratory investigations) and BRL 1000 (partial sampling).

How long does a groundwater survey take?

Standard investigations take approximately six weeks from start to finish, including the report. In urgent projects, we can move more quickly by utilizing our own field capacity.
