Fugro has opened marine chemistry and biology laboratories within the Heriot-Watt University Research Park in Edinburgh, UK.
The chemistry laboratories will be able to simultaneously analyse a wider range of environmental contaminants in marine sediments, biota and water, from background trace levels to more contaminated sources, while the new marine biology laboratory will allow Fugro to expand its marine taxonomic service.
Fugro said this increased capacity will support its growing green industry client base in the offshore wind, marine cables and coastal development sectors, offering them an expanded range and increased capacity of laboratory services, including marine fauna identification and a range of organic and inorganic analysis.
John ten Hoope, Fugro’s director of marine site characterization for Europe and Africa, said: ‘These new facilities demonstrate Fugro’s commitment to marine environmental services and build on over 25 years’ experience in acquiring, analysing and advising on marine environmental Geo-data.’
