Groundwater analytics

Our groundwater is largely protected from contamination by intact soil and rock layers. However, this natural protective function of the groundwater cover is not always sufficient and can be impaired by human activities, among other things. In this context, the following should be mentioned in particular

• constructional interventions and mining of raw materials
• release of hazardous anthropogenic substances that cannot or cannot completely be retained or degraded naturally
• extensive inputs of fertilizers and pesticides.

Within the scope of contaminated site investigations and remediation, groundwater investigations, among other things, can provide information on the need for remediation or the success of remediation. In monitoring projects, regular sampling of selected measuring points provides important information on groundwater reserves and groundwater quality.

In addition to a large number of so-called basic parameters (physico-chemical parameters, anions, cations), special attention is paid to the determination of inorganic and organic pollutants.

Our clients are public authorities as well as private companies, such as:

• specialized authorities of the federal states
• municipalities and counties
• Landfill operators
• engineering offices and experts.

We have the necessary accreditation according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 for sampling and analysis and are additionally notified according to the specialist module soil and contaminated sites as well as the specialist module water.
