WHAT GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS DO YOU COVER?

However, if the site is located within driving distance of our laboratory (an approximate 400 mile radius), we will be able to bring an extensive set of testing equipment with us. If it is located outside of an approximate 400 mile radius, we will likely need to fly to the site and, therefore, can only bring a limited set of testing equipment with us.
