The sites that have just acquired a duty to measure.

A new permission almost always arrives with a new obligation to sample, monitor and report. The site has to find someone to do it, usually quickly, and almost always before it has worked out what that should cost.

An invented example of the shape of a card. See a real one, opened.

What puts a card here
A site takes on a monitoring, sampling or reporting duty it did not have before.
When the money moves
The duty usually starts within weeks of the grant.
You sell
laboratories, emissions and water monitoring, permit consultancy

Three things the card tells you that a list cannot.

The application is the start of it. What makes the call worth making is what the other records say about the company holding it, 13 of them read together.

The size of the market first, without names: New UK waste and water sites, counted weekly on CapexRadar, the engine behind Stanfell.

  1. What has to be measured and how often, which is your scope of work before you have spoken to anyone.
  2. Whether the duty is new or a tightening of one that existed, which tells you if there is an incumbent.
  3. When the obligation starts, so you call before the deadline rather than after it.

Who reads this one.

  • Analytical laboratories
  • Stack emissions testing
  • Water and effluent sampling
  • Permit and compliance consultancy
  • Continuous monitoring equipment

Questions about this one.

How do environmental consultants usually find new clients?
Mostly by referral and by being known to the sites nearby. That works until a site you have never heard of takes on a duty you could have met. A card is that site, in the week it happens, with the scope written down.
Is stack emissions monitoring covered?
Yes. When a permit adds or tightens an emission limit with a monitoring condition, the card says what must be measured, how often and from when.
