Our paid services

Chemical analysis of soils for classification, survey, fertility assessment, and research purposes such as carbon and nutrient cycling. At our IANZ-accredited Environmental Chemistry Laboratory.

Particle size, bulk and particle density, porosity, water release characteristics, hydraulic conductivity, soil engineering limits, and bioretention media performance testing for green roofs and rain gardens.

Pesticide and toxin residue testing across soil, water, and tissue matrices, including field sampling protocols for suspected contamination or poisoning events. At our Toxicology Laboratory.

We offer commercial species identification, disease screening, genotyping and monitoring, sequencing, and microbial services.

Need a soil description, classification or interpretation as part of an ecological or geotechnical assessment? We are happy to help.

Talk to our experts who can assist with mapping and modelling erosion of soils and streambanks, to inform long-term land and water planning.

Spatial mapping and characterisation of soils for land use planning, irrigation suitability assessment, effluent disposal, drainage works, or urban development.

LUC classification and advisory work, assessing a land parcel's capacity for sustained production, physical limitations, and soil conservation requirements.

We offer commercial services in assessing soil toxicity, site-specific risk assessment for contaminated land, including the development of site-specific soil guideline values.

We have a long history of linking soils to the landscapes that form them. This work captures why particular soils occur where they do, and why this matters for their functioning.

Require a report or map that has not yet been digitised? We routinely digitise our records, including maps up to size A0.

Custom access, packaging, and delivery of New Zealand's land and soils data, for clients who need more than what's on the public portals.

Field-based courses in reading a soil profile — the same observation skills our scientists use for survey, mapping, and site advice, taught so your own staff can apply them on site.
