Quality Assurance / Quality Control

From project inception through project completion, HSW's Quality Assurance team provides expertise in field and laboratory quality assurance and data management. Our staff is highly qualified with many years of experience in project planning (developing data quality objectives for field and laboratory parameters and laboratory contracting), project implementation (field / laboratory audits, data assessment / validation, and database management), and project completion (data quality assessment and quality control summary reports).

HSW was part of a small team of chemists responsible for validating data for an environmental site assessment for a multi-million dollar land transaction (purchase of U.S. Sugar property by the State of Florida).  HSW serves as independent third-party validators to several USACE contractors, and provides QA support to various SFWMD contractors.
