SOIL MONITORING
We offer comprehensive Soil Monitoring and Assessment Services to support sustainable land management, agricultural productivity, environmental compliance, and site development. Our services are tailored to help clients evaluate soil health, identify contamination risks, and guide effective land-use planning and remediation strategies.Using standardized sampling techniques and accredited laboratory analysis, we assess a broad spectrum of soil parameters in compliance with international standards (e.g., USEPA, FAO, ISO 10381, and local regulatory bodies such as EAD).
Main Priciples
Key Parameters Analyzed
Physical Properties
- Texture (sand, silt, clay):Determines water retention, drainage, and suitability for agriculture or construction.
- Moisture Content:Assesses soil water availability, crucial for irrigation planning.
- Bulk Density & Porosity:Indicators of compaction and root penetration ability.
Chemical Properties
- pH:Indicates soil acidity/alkalinity affecting nutrient availability.
- Electrical Conductivity (EC):Measures salinity, important for crop health.
- Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC):Reflects soil’s ability to retain and exchange nutrients.
- Organic Matter:A key indicator of soil fertility and microbial activity.
- Nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S): Essential macronutrients for plant growth.
Contaminants & Residues
- Heavy Metals: Includes Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Mercury (Hg), Nickel (Ni), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu)—monitored for potential health and ecological risks.
- Hydrocarbon Residues:From oil spills, industrial waste, or fuel storage.
- Pesticide and Fertilizer Residues:Evaluated for agricultural sustainability and groundwater protection.
Microbiological Assessment
Total Bacterial Count, Pathogen Presence, and Soil Biota evaluation for organic farming or ecological studies.
