Rock testing

(OP)
I need to have some rock privately tested ASAP.

I think we might have hit serpentine rock which you all know contains asbestos.

I need this done ASAP, I need to know procedures for transporting this material and if anyone knows of any geology labs in or around Manhattan that might be able to assist me..

Thanks

RE: Rock testing

Try Advanced Terra Testing in Colorado.  Lots of expertise in testing and handling of rock samples

RE: Rock testing

Try checking with the geology department of a local university.

RE: Rock testing

first, I would allow your consultant to obtain and transport the sample

second, just about any geotech lab could be called - if they can't do it they can probably refer you to one that can

If you can't find a reputable lab, call your local department of environmental quality for a referall
