GLEC Sediment Sampling and Testing Services in the Great Lakes Region

 
GLEC provides clients with a wide array of field sampling and monitoring services for the protection and preservation of freshwater resources.  In order to meet the growing demand for sediment quality assessments at USEPA Areas of Concern, U.S. Army Corps of Engineer dredging projects, and similar sites, GLEC operates a vibracore sediment sampling boat out of its Traverse City, Michigan headquarters facility.  The vibracore rig was designed and constructed by GLEC to offer optimal operating efficiencies in riverine, harbor, and nearshore locations.  GLEC field researchers have over three years of experience obtaining sediment core samples in a variety of environments and can provide quick turnaround in both study design and survey deliveries.  GLEC also offers accredited sediment toxicity testing at its Traverse City laboratory.
