PAH and DLC Studies for Environmental Assessment
PAH and DLC Testing
When reusing or disposing of asphalt, it is essential to investigate whether polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are present in the asphalt layers. These substances can be harmful to the environment and are subject to strict regulations.
With a PAH and DLC test, you demonstrate environmental responsibility and compliance with legal standards. The test is crucial for determining the reusability of asphalt and foundation materials, and helps prevent issues when offering materials to asphalt plants or processing facilities.
Benefits of PAH and DLC testing
Prevent environmental damage and comply with legal requirements
Ensure accurate assessment of material reusability and disposal options
Avoid delays and unexpected costs during processing or disposal
Recommendation: test on time
Ensure timely sampling and reporting when reusing secondary materials. This is essential for both the reuse and disposal of asphalt and foundation layers. It helps avoid surprises and ensures responsible and efficient material processing.
Our approach
We have the expertise and certified testing methods to accurately detect PAHs and other tar-based components. You’ll receive a clear, compliant report — which is recognised by processors and regulatory authorities — so you know exactly where you stand, without unnecessary delays.
