Chemical testing of aggregates and soils within the construction and civil engineering industry has wide-ranging implications for the re-use of materials, remediation works and general project timelines and budgets. With so much potentially riding on the outcomes, it is important that the tests themselves deliver the results you need and, when required, comply to national standards.
Our chemistry laboratory specialises in the chemical analysis of a wide range of construction materials including soils, aggregates, concrete, mortar, paints and coatings.
Testing is conducted in accordance with international standards, using traditional wet chemistry gravimetric methods. Our wet chemical analyses are complimented by state-of-the-art ICP and Sulphur Analyser instrumentation.
In association with our approved sub-contract laboratories we can test soils, effluents or waters for various contaminants including TPH, PAH, BTEX, PCB’s, Phenols as well as other organic compounds and metals.
Chemical testing services from Construction Testing Solutions:
Our team of environmental consultants provide technical services and advice on the redevelopment of contaminated sites as well as providing accurate testing and assessment of waste soils, which can significantly reduce the risk of incorrect classification.

This was a project in which laboratory services were a key element to the efficient completion of the work. CTS fulfilled their role professionally and we enjoyed a good relationship throughout the scheme." Jonathan Atkin - Waystone
