Laboratory services
We conduct investigations of soil and other solid materials within the framework of an accredited management system. As a research laboratory, we bring together a range of expertise, offering tailored investigations and comprehensive solutions.
About our laboratories
Our laboratories possess expert knowledge in areas such as geotechnics, chemistry, and microbiology. Experienced laboratory personnel work closely with our advisors and researchers, allowing us to offer specialized investigations and comprehensive solutions – from sampling planning to selecting analytical methods and evaluating results.
We have extensive experience in method development and have long been active members of the Swedish Geotechnical Society (SGF), contributing to the creation of guidelines and standards. Additionally, we participate in various CEN standardization committees, helping shape the standards for both field and laboratory methods.
Accreditation and certification
To ensure the reliability of our investigation results, we have chosen to accredit a significant portion of our laboratory operations.
The Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment (SWEDAC) regularly audits us to verify compliance with accreditation requirements under SS-EN/IEC 17025 (SWEDAC No. 1148). This accreditation requires strict procedures for calibration, control, and documentation.
We are also quality and environmentally certified according to ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2000. Each year, we conduct an internal quality audit of the SGI Laboratory.
