Trace has an unparalleled Field Team that operates in a 3-hour radius from Muskegon, covering most of the lower peninsula. We are one of the few environmental laboratories extensively committed to field operations that include sample collection, sample container order preparation, container delivery, and sample pickups. Meeting daily, our Field Team maps out all locations and logistics to ensure our clients are able to meet all sampling timeline requirements.
One of our most specialized services offered is wastewater field collection. Industries with Industrial Pretreatment Program permits are required to self-monitor their wastewater streams. This monitoring can include samples to be collected by grab sampling or 24-hour composite sampling as defined by each permit. Grab sampling is an instant, “snapshot” of the wastewater stream and 24-hour composite sampling requires our team to set equipment programmed to collect samples over a 24-hour period. Our Field Team is equipped with all sampling gear, including an inventory of GLS 24-Hour Composite samplers available to meet our client’s needs.
Our Field Team has been dubbed the Unsung Heroes of Trace because they are on the road early and back to our lab late in the day, always going the extra mile.
