Mobile Soil Classification Testing

Recycling First offer a nationwide on-site mobile soil testing lab for chemical analysis testing that is fast, accurate and reliable.

Save time and Money when Testing for Hydrocarbon and Heavy Metal Contamination

Soil testing is crucial for construction as it assists with the segregation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Testing not only reduces the amount of hazardous waste leaving site it provides significant cost savings on waste removals as it allows non-hazardous soils be retained and recycled on-site.

Traditionally, soil samples were collected from site and sent to a laboratory for testing, which could take days or even weeks to get results. However, with the advancement in technology, mobile soil classification testing has become more prevalent and offers numerous benefits over traditional methods. Recycling First are one if the UK’s leading providers of onsite Soil Classification Testing.

Why Choose Rapid Mobile Soil Classification Testing?

Rapid access to test results

Mobile soil on-site testing allows results to be obtained within a few minutes, eliminating the need to wait for days or weeks for laboratory results. This saves time in project planning and avoids delays in construction.

Cost Savings

Mobile soil classification testing is more cost-effective compared to traditional methods. It eliminates the need for transportation and laboratory fees, saving money for both the project owner and contractor.

Instant, Accurate & Reliable Reporting

On-site soil testing provides more accurate results as samples are collected in their natural state without any disturbance due to transportation. Furthermore, on-site mobile soil testing also provides more accurate results as the samples are collected directly from the site, avoiding any potential errors during transportation or handling.

Nationwide Coverage

Our mobile soil testing vehicle is fully portable, offers nationwide coverage and provides real-time testing data. The equipment used for on-site testing is compact and can be easily transported to remote locations or difficult terrain, making it suitable for various construction projects.

Speeds Up The Construction Process

By using on-site testing, project managers can make informed decisions based on real-time data, leading to better-informed decision making and efficient project planning.

Environmental Benefits

On-site testing has environmental benefits as it reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting samples to a laboratory for testing. By conducting tests on site, the need for multiple trips to transport samples is eliminated, thus reducing carbon emissions and promoting a more sustainable construction process.

Approved quality control procedures Testing is aligned to the management controls defined within the ISO 9001 standard.

Experienced Compliant Technicians

Our mobile on-site soil classification testing is carried out by our own trained technicians. They are responsible for operating the equipment and conducting the tests according to industry standards and protocols. It is essential to have qualified individuals perform soil classification testing, as incorrect procedures or interpretations can lead to inaccurate results and potentially compromise the safety and success of a construction project.

    More about our Mobile Soil Classification Testing

    What is soil classification testing?

    Soil classification testing is a process used to determine the physical and chemical properties of soil in order to categorise and group it into different types. This helps in understanding the characteristics of the soil, which can then inform decisions related to construction, agriculture, environmental studies, and more.

    Why is soil classification testing important?

    Soil classification testing is important because it provides essential information about the soil that can impact various fields, including engineering, agriculture, and environmental science. Knowing the characteristics of soil helps in determining its suitability for different purposes and identifying any potential problems that may arise.

    How is soil classification testing carried out?

    Soil classification testing involves collecting samples from different depths in the ground and analysing them. The samples are tested for physical properties such as texture, colour, and structure, as well as chemical properties such as pH and nutrient content. These results are then used to classify the soil according to recognised systems.

    Can soil classification testing be done by non-professionals?

    While anyone can collect a soil sample, proper analysis and interpretation of results require specialised knowledge and training. Soil classification testing should be carried out by professionals with expertise in soil science, geotechnical engineering, or related fields. This ensures accurate results and proper understanding of the soil’s properties and characteristics. So, it is not recommended for non-professionals to conduct soil classification testing without proper training and guidance.

    How often should soil classification testing be done?

    The frequency of soil classification testing depends on the specific circumstances and needs. For example, for construction purposes, it is recommended to conduct tests before starting a project and during different stages of construction to ensure the soil is suitable and stable. For agricultural purposes, testing may be done seasonally or on a regular basis to monitor changes in soil conditions. In general, it is recommended to conduct soil classification testing at least once every 3-5 years to stay informed about any potential changes in the soil’s properties that may affect its use.

    What are some common applications of soil classification testing?

    Soil classification testing has various applications in different fields. Some common examples include:

    Construction: Soil classification testing helps in determining the suitability and stability of soil for building foundations, roads, and other structures.

    Agriculture: Soil classification testing can inform decisions related to crop selection, fertilisation, and irrigation based on the soil’s nutrient content and other properties.

    Environmental science: Soil classification testing is crucial in understanding the impact of land use practices on soil health and identifying potential environmental hazards such as contamination.

    Land management: Soil classification testing can help in making informed decisions about land use, restoration, or remediation based on the soil’s properties and characteristics.

    Overall, soil classification testing plays a vital role in various fields and is essential for sustainable land management and development. So, it is important to conduct regular testing for accurate information and informed decision-making.
