Experience
Accura Analytical Laboratory has a great deal of experience with
sample analysis for large Department of Energy and Department
of Defense projects. Accura must meet stringent federal, state
and local guidelines to satisfy our clients’ requirements. Many
of Accura’s clients demand strict compliance with U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy, and Department
of Defense regulations
Department of Energy (DOE)-Savannah River Site
An on-going contract at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, South
Carolina is requiring our laboratory to provide analytical testing
services on a wide range of matrices while meeting 7, 14, 21-day
turnaround times. The laboratory is performing organic and inorganic
testing on hazardous, mixed, and radioactive waste samples following
radioactive safety and waste management protocols. Matrices include
wood, multi-layered liquid wastes, sludges, paint wastes, etc.
We are providing site-specific EDD format and customer specific
hardcopy reports on rush and 21-day turnaround. To meet the federal
requirements, Accura is following Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA)
Level II and participating audits, performance evaluation sample
testing, and performance reviews.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Accura completed its analytical support for the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) Savannah district, under the SAD Lab contract
valued at $1.5 million per year. AAL provided comprehensive testing
on diverse matrices for a variety of environmental projects to
include, but not limited to Superfund, USTs, landfills, lead abatement,
drinking water, DOE-FUSRAP, unexploded ordnance, waste characterization
and low-level RAD. Deliverables varies in complexity depending
on the project. Though each Task Order was different, the core
analysis involved Volatiles, Semi-Volatiles, PAH, BTEX, Pesticide/PCB/Herbicides,
and Metals.
Although that particular contract has ended, Accura continues
to provide analytical services to the Corps of Engineers.
A list of some of the sites Accura has received samples from is
provided below.
