Project Experience

Advanced Technology Laboratories has proven that it can handle high volume projects withrigorous QA/QC requirements as demonstrated by the following examples. The handling ofhigh volume work is evidenced by the continuous flow of Caltrans work. ATL is also diversifiedin its experience, such as groundwater monitoring, landfill monitoring, underground storagetanks, and wet and organic chemistry.

and Oxygenates)Matrix: SoilConcentration Range: ND through >1000 ppmDates Work Performed: February to March 2003QA/QC Level: DOHS Routine QA/QC

Pertinent Information:

This is a six-week project involving high volume of soil samples analyzed for hydrocarbonchain ID, Cam 17 metals, and volatile organic compounds. Advanced TechnologyLaboratories picked up samples from the site six days a week with a TAT of same day, 24hr orroutine. The job was done as scheduled. The QA/QC requirement is routine CA DOHSQA/QC. This project also requires project specific EDD.

Advanced Technology Laboratories received varying amount of samples from differentgenerating stations with a TAT of same day, 24hr or routine. The job was done as scheduled.The QA/QC requirement is routine CA DOHS QA/QC. ATL was also contracted by SCE on apipeline project where ATL has to do 418,1 on soil samples within 2 hours of sample submittal.ATL is a high volume laboratory that can process large number of samples and meetscheduled turn around time. This is achieved by redundancy in equipment, latest state of theart equipment and dedicated and motivated professional staff.
