Field measurements

We conduct surveys and identification of unknown substances directly at potential contamination sites. Our services are provided not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. We collaborate with municipalities, regional authorities, state institutions, and industrial companies.

Planned actions and emergencies

We address emergency situations requiring immediate response, such as discovered unknown chemical substances, illegal waste or chemical storage sites, and pipeline accidents.

Fast remediation interventions

With the Ecoprobe device, we can immediately identify sampling locations and subsequently monitor the remediation process. Compared to using a drilling rig, this approach offers a more time-efficient and cost-effective solution.

Identification of more than 10 000 substances

We have a Raman spectrometer and other equipment that allows us to identify substances such as organic volatile compounds or various chemicals. It also helps us establish the properties of hazardous waste.

Not just measurements, but complete solutions

We assess the severity and extent of the problem and propose the most suitable solution, whether it involves an acute emergency, waste removal, remediation work, or long-term monitoring.

We are the only ones in Central Europe with Geoprobe equipment

We have a drilling rig and probes from the American company Geoprobe, which allow us to detect contamination concentrations at precise depths and subsequently apply remediation media at those depths.

Mobile equipment and detectors

Raman's spectrometer

A unique device we use to detect solid matrices and identify thousands of different chemical substances based on a stored sample library. It is used for identifying unknown materials, chemicals, and wastes in unmarked containers and other packaging. Our firefighting response unit employs the Raman spectrometer during various emergency interventions, such as dealing with illegal waste storage or leaks of unknown chemical substances.

XRF Delta Classic Analyzer

A device that analyzes the elemental composition of a material using X-ray technology.
We most commonly use it for waste identification in the field and repackaging of hazardous waste, such as old pesticides. It helps detect the presence of specific elements like halogens (Cl, Br, I) or sulfur.

Ecoprobe 5

A device that analyzes the presence of petroleum substances using multiple parameters.
We measure air/gas samples (typically in soil probes) to identify potential contamination hotspots. This device allows us to detect a mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other gases.

Geoprobe

Drilling rig, primarily used for contamination surveys or remediation interventions.
It allows us to identify the extent and type of contamination, monitor the progress of remediation efforts, and pinpoint locations for applying remediation media during the intervention. We can equip the drilling rig with MIP (Membrane Interface Probe) and OIP (Optical Interface Probe) sensors.

MIP and OIP probes

Using OIP and MIP probes, we measure the presence of petroleum products through fluorescence, and we analyze the concentration of selected volatile organic compounds directly in the field—at a defined depth—using a gas chromatograph.
