Agon has three hazardous material laboratories accredited for asbestos testing by NATA to ISO/IEC 17025 in Adelaide, Darwin and Melbourne for Bulk ID and fibre counting. Furthermore, our Adelaide office is able to offer NATA accredited specialty XRD analysis providing our clients with definitive results on a range of minerology and rapid service for more difficult bulk ID samples such vinyl tiles.
We are also able to establish field laboratories for larger projects requiring more rapid turnaround on results or remote projects where it is not feasible to await results taking transportation time into consideration.
We are also able to provide silica and quartz analysis using XRD analysis to assist in determining wear and tear on plant and equipment such as tunnel boring machines.
