The Problem
Across brownfield and enabling works projects:
- Decisions rely on laboratory turnaround times
- Materials sit in stockpiles awaiting classification
- Programmes slow while uncertainty remains
- Disposal routes are often conservative (and expensive)
- Opportunities for reuse are missed
Result: Cost, time and risk increase unnecessarily.
The Provectus Solution
Provectus Rapid Intelligence™ delivers real-time site data to support immediate decisions. We combine:
- Portable XRF metals screening
- QED / UVF hydrocarbon analysis
- Experienced contaminated land professionals
- Targeted sampling strategies
- Laboratory validation
We don’t replace laboratory testing, we bring clarity forward.
What We Do
Provectus Rapid Intelligence™ is a mobile, deployable testing service designed to provide real-time site data that supports faster, more informed decision-making. We deliver on-site analysis to enable accurate materials classification, detailed stockpile characterisation and precise hotspot delineation, giving project teams a clear understanding of ground conditions as works progress. This intelligence directly informs waste routing decisions and Soil Treatment Facility (STF) acceptance planning, helping to optimise reuse and disposal strategies. Our approach also strengthens verification processes and allows for continuous refinement of remediation strategies, ensuring solutions remain practical, compliant and commercially efficient throughout the project lifecycle.
On-site testing for contaminated land, materials management and remediation delivery
From waiting on results to working with answers
The Power of Combined Data
Individually, tools provide insight. Combined, they provide confidence. Provectus integrates:
- Field data (XRF + QED)
- Site knowledge
- Regulatory context
- Laboratory validation
Output: Clear, defensible, commercially informed decisions.
What This Means for the Client
Commercial Benefits
- Reduce hazardous disposal volumes
- Avoid over-classification
- Unlock reuse opportunities
- Optimise STF routing
- Lower overall project cost
Programme Benefits
- Faster decision-making
- Reduced downtime
- Improved sequencing
- Fewer late-stage surprises
Typical Applications & Deliverables
Provectus Rapid Intelligence™ is deployed across a wide range of projects, from brownfield redevelopment and infrastructure schemes to industrial sites and bulk earthworks operations. It is particularly effective in supporting stockpile management and remediation validation, where timely, accurate data is critical to maintaining programme and controlling cost.
Typical Applications
- Brownfield redevelopment
- Infrastructure and major projects
- Industrial and legacy sites
- Bulk earthworks and cut/fill operations
- Stockpile characterisation and management
- Remediation and verification phases
Key Deliverables
- Real-time site data logs and reporting
- Zoning and contamination mapping
- Targeted sampling strategies
- Laboratory correlation datasets
- Waste classification support (WM3 aligned)
- Reuse, treatment and disposal recommendations
This integrated approach ensures that decisions are informed, defensible and aligned with both regulatory requirements and commercial objectives.
Advanced Field Analysis Capability
Provectus Rapid Intelligence™ utilises advanced, field-deployable analytical equipment to provide immediate, high-quality data on site.
Hydrocarbon Analysis (QED Technology)
Our specialist QED analyser provides rapid, detailed hydrocarbon characterisation, including:
- BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes)
- GRO (C5–C9) – Gasoline Range Organics
- DRO (C10–C40) – Diesel Range Organics
- TPH (C5–C40) – Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
- Total Aromatics (C10–C35)
- 16 EPA PAHs
- Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)
- Carbon ratio analysis
- Hydrocarbon identification and fingerprinting
This capability is particularly valuable for:
- Distinguishing bitumen vs coal tar
- Identifying tar-bound materials
- Supporting waste classification and reuse decisions
Metals Screening (Handheld XRF)
Our calibrated handheld XRF instruments provide rapid elemental analysis for:
- Lead (Pb)
- Arsenic (As)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Copper (Cu)
- Nickel (Ni)
- Zinc (Zn)
- Chromium (Cr)
- Tin (Sn)
- Sulphur (S)
Additional elements can be incorporated where required, subject to project-specific calibration and validation.
Integrated Outcome
Together, these technologies provide:
Real-time contamination insight Improved material zoning and segregation Faster decision-making on reuse, treatment and disposal Reduced reliance on delayed laboratory data A robust dataset to support UKAS validation and compliance
