With the completion of our head office expansion this month we have significantly increased our lab capabilities at our Cramlington headquarters, expanding to nine cabinets for the identification of asbestos.
We will be expanding into asbestos in soil in the near future. There are now two separate labs at our HQ to segregate the different stream of analysis.
ASKAMS also has a lab at their Warrington offices at Garret House and will soon extend its accreditation to establish a laboratory in Edinburgh.
National Lab Manager Frances Bell commented “ The laboratory team are very proud of our new bespoke laboratory expansion in Cramlington, giving us the capability to increase the services we offer to our clients. We now have a dedicated lab for soil analysis and quantification as well as a larger fully equipped area for bulks analysis. The continued success of ASKAMS has allowed us to open a second UKAS accredited lab in Warrington and we are in the process of opening a third laboratory in Scotland to facilitate our increased client demand in this region. We look forward to continuing to provide a high quality service to our existing and future clients.”
