Drinking Water

Sigma samples and evaluates well water and other potable water systems to determine compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) standards. Additionally, Sigma samples potable water systems for biological agents including Legionella and Mycobacteria

Noise

Occupational Noise Exposure Standard and Hearing Conservation Amendment requires hearing protection for any workplace operations resulting in noise exposures in excess of 85 dBA TWA. Sigma conducts noise surveys to determine if hearing protection and a Hearing Conservation Program are required. Sigma can also study other noise issues related to current, proposed, or nearby land use.

Vibration

Sigma conducts monitoring to evaluate building demolition and renovation activities involving select or total building dismantling, foundation construction / pile driving, and manufacturing operations such as stamping and punch presses. Sensitive receptors such as neighboring residential properties and industrial and health care facilities with precise operations are also evaluated

Biological Assessment

Sigma provides air quality and building material assessments for biological agents including bacterial and fungal organisms, allergens, and microbial VOCs. Sigma minimizes liability risks by using state of the art inspection and assessment techniques recommended by the ACGIH, AIHA, EPA and the University of Minnesota Department of Environmental Health and Safety. Services include air and material sampling and evaluation, prepurchase condition assessments, material moisture assessments, preparation of fungal abatement specs, and performing observation and clearance monitoring.
