Current Capabilities
Caledonian Laboratories Limited operates two environmental testing laboratories at the present time.
Our main laboratory in Bargeddie, Glasgow offers the full range of services advertised on this site, while our new laboratory in Dumfries provides
analytical services to the trade effluent, wastewater and solid waste markets.
Turnaround Capabilities:
As a small laboratory, we can offer flexibility in turnaround times and can easily accommodate urgent or rapid turnaround requests from customers.
We have achieved same day turnaround on waste water samples, Oily wastes, solid waste characterization and construction materials.
