We surveyed ~100 of our environmental clients, and they cited 4 of the top challenges with environmental field work are: logistics, short hold time parameters, budgets and weather.

While we can’t control the weather, we can certainly help with the other 3:

YES! CARO has redundancy on all short hold time testing across all of our laboratory locations (including Richmond!)

YES! CARO’s laboratories are located in close proximity to major airports (YVR, YYJ and YLW), so we can quickly reach every corner of Western Canada.

YES! CARO is currently running a promotion to help you save money on your next rush sampling program. Email marketing@caro.ca with the subject SHOW ME THE SAVINGS for more information.

If you find yourself navigating a project in British Columbia involving soil relocation, you may need to consider the latest version of Protocol 19 for contaminated sites:https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/environment/air-land-water/site-remediation/docs/protocols/protocol_19.pdf

We break down some of the key changes in Version 2, in our latest blog post here: https://www.caro.ca/caros-notes-bc-csr-protocol-19-v2-update/
