PES - Expolosive testing
Originally founded in 1990 by Royal Ordnance in order to decommission and add value to its property assets it quickly grew with its incorporation into the BAE SYSTEMS plc group.
Increasing demand for analytical services catering for the land sector has resulted in the testing of various explosives in soil and water together with a range of organics in soil being offered to customers both internal and external to BAE Systems. The vast majority of these tests are both UKAS and MCERTS accredited.
Our laboratory is equipped with modern, advanced analytical instrumentation enabling accurate and rapid turnaround of samples, and our staff have a vast knowledge of contaminated land testing, and are always on had to respond to any questions you may have.
We can also assist with method development/validation exercises, along with small scale laboratory pilot trials in aid of remediation and decommissioning strategies.
Full accreditation details available at www.ukas.org/testing our laboratory registration number is 1764. The Laboratory takes part in CONTEST and RTC Performance Testing Schemes as a requirement of UKAS/MCERTS Accreditation.
