Whitley Junction Improvement
The A444 is one of the busiest routes in Coventry. Remodelling of one junction was undertaken to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. ALS Environmental provided a fast-turn around of analysis for the construction project.
The Whitley junction between the A444 and the A4114 is a main commuter route in Coventry. Traffic flow was often heavy and the Local Authority employed Costain Ltd to carry out improvements to the junction.

The 12 month project began in August 2014 on the site, which was initially believed to be inert. However, once work started unexpected contamination was quickly discovered.

ALS Environmental were contracted by Costain Limited Highways sector following the discovery of contamination on site. They provided soil screen analysis for:

With the need to minimise the disruption to both the project and commuter travel, ALS Environmental delivered a fast-turnaround of services, including a less-than 12 hour turnaround on Asbestos analysis. This fast track service allowed work to recommence quickly and safely.

Testimonials
We had potential water quality problem due to the actions of a third party and needed samples taken as a matter of urgency. Although this was outside the strict terms of our contract with ALS they were able to provide a sampler on a Friday afternoon, get the samples taken and returned to their labs for analysis.
They backed this excellent performance up by emailing us the sample results over the weekend. All in all a great piece of customer service!
