Serving Texas Environmental Consultants and Industry
SPL’s Round Rock environmental laboratory sits at the center of one of the most active environmental consulting markets in the country. The greater Austin metro and surrounding central Texas region is home to a dense network of remediation projects, industrial facilities, and development sites operating under TCEQ oversight. Our Round Rock facility, operating under the legacy of DHL Analytical, has been a trusted resource for Texas environmental professionals who need accurate, timely results that stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
This location specializes in supporting environmental consulting firms managing complex site investigations, Brownfield redevelopments, and remediation projects governed by the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP). Established under 30 TAC Chapter 350 and administered by the TCEQ, TRRP is the primary framework for assessing and cleaning up contaminated properties across Texas. It requires risk-based analysis of soil, groundwater, and surface water using accredited laboratory data. Our team understands the chain-of-custody requirements, reporting formats, and protective concentration level (PCL) documentation that TRRP projects demand, and we have built our workflows around making that process straightforward for the consulting firms we serve.
Beyond remediation support, the Round Rock lab serves industrial facilities managing discharge compliance monitoring, petrochemical sites with recurring analytical obligations, and project managers navigating multi-phase site closures under TCEQ oversight.
SPL field technicians are available for direct sample collection across central Texas and the broader state, and our courier services maintain chain-of-custody integrity from field to lab, so your data arrives defensible and your project stays on schedule. As part of SPL’s national network of 30+ locations founded in 1944, you get the quality systems and analytical depth of a national provider with a local team that knows exactly what Texas regulatory work requires.

Field Services and Sample Collection
SPL Round Rock field technicians provide professional environmental sample collection services across central Texas and beyond.
