| Introduction | |
|
The company was founded in 1982 with the vision of establishing a full-service environmental laboratory. With the aid of a small mobile laboratory, our initial services included flow-through bioassays, toxicology testing, macroinvertebrate assessments, and fisheries analyses.
Since that beginning, Shealy has prudently expanded its operation to provide unequaled services to a growing clientele in the private and governmental business sectors. In 1985, a permanent laboratory was established in Columbia, South Carolina, to meet expanded service needs. In 1987, an analytical laboratory was added providing organic, inorganic, and microbiological analyses. In 1992, the entire business was moved to a facility that was custom-designed and constructed specifically as an environmental laboratory. Our value-added services include comprehensive project management, expedited analysis, and sophisticated laboratory information system (LIMS) output. We can deliver comprehensive quotations, sample acknowledgement reports, and preliminary and final data reports by facsimile transmission or via email in Adobe Acrobat® PDF format. We have extensive experience with projects requiring site-specific data quality objectives (DQOs), and can report data in formats ranging from Level 1 (results only) to Level 4 (CLP-like) data packages. In 2001, Shealy was among the first round of laboratories to earn accreditation by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC). We have an active US EPA CLP contract for the analysis of low concentration organic compounds in water samples by OLC03.2. Under this contract, the EPA will utilize this legally defensible data to determine the nature and extent of contamination at a hazardous waste site, appropriate cleanup actions, and when remedial actions are complete. As a small business providing services primarily covered under NAICS code 541380, Shealy is recognized as a responsive and credible environmental laboratory focused on creating cost-effective and workable solutions to meet individual client needs. |
