1 Analytical Services (Soils)
  • Value: £2M

Agricultural land must be sampled to assess the suitability of the land for the application of Biosolids (treated sewage sludge) or clarification sludge (from water treatment). Sampling for Biosolids applications is required before the initial application and then at intervals of 5, 10 & 20 years. The soil sampling depth and the analysis required will differ between these timeframes. Sampling for clarification is before individual applications. We currently take and analyse in the region of 7,000 soil samples per annum with each sample comprising 25 sub-samples taken from an area of up to 5 hectares. Sampling and Analysis needs to comply with the Code of Practice for Agricultural use of Sewage Sludge & Biosolids Assurance Scheme (BAS). BAS requires soil samples to be collected by competent personnel, recording of the location of each soil sample (including the location of the sub samples), chain of custody, suitable transport and storage and for the analysis to be undertaken by a BAS approved laboratory. Suppliers will provide an end-to-end service from sample request to supply of analysis results both electronically uploaded to Severn Trent's system (currently QUIS) plus supplier headed reports where required for submission to the Environment Agency The service comprises: Soil sampling Analysis using BAS approved laboratory services
