Meeting Industry Challenges Head-On 

With aging infrastructure across the UK requiring increasingly sophisticated assessment and maintenance, the launch of our concrete testing division couldn’t be more timely. The new service line includes condition testing, investigation surveys, and material sampling, all designed to help clients make informed decisions about their structural assets. 

The Value of Professional Concrete Testing Professional concrete testing and inspection services are crucial for:

  1. Preventing costly structural failures
  2. Extending infrastructure lifespan
  3. Ensuring public safety
  4. Optimising maintenance budgets
  5. Meeting regulatory requirements

Industry research shows that early detection through proper testing can reduce repair costs by up to 60% compared to reactive maintenance, making it a crucial investment for infrastructure owners and managers.

Condition Testing 

Advanced assessment of concrete structures using techniques like half-cell potential and cover meter surveys 

Investigation Surveys 

Non-destructive testing including ultrasonic tomography and ground penetrating radar

Testimonials

“We have been working with Lucion Delta-Simons since 2022 and their exhaustive investigation and thorough research into Airedale Group’s operations has provided us with an invaluable insight into the business and how we can effectively work towards our net zero objectives.”

Martin Leighton Group Procurement Director

Lucion Group successfully supported E4environment Ltd by conducting a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) assessment of anticipated operational emissions for a proposed project at Easton, Lincolnshire. The plans involved redeveloping a Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) and installing an Anaerobic Digestion plant.

In response to the Finch vs. Surrey County Council court ruling in June 2024, Lincolnshire County Council issued a Section 25 request for additional scrutiny of GHG emissions before planning consent could be granted. Lucion Group Associate Consultant, Rob Dadzie, submitted a detailed GHG emissions assessment and clear report addressing the council’s concerns. His expertise and support ensured the final submission met the latest Environmental Impact Assessment requirements.

The contribution of Lucion Group and Rob Dadzie to the project team meant the project successfully satisfied the Local Authority’s conditions, enabling Council members to determine unanimous approval of the final planning application. Once operational, the site will process 120,000 tonnes of feedstock per year, generating 5MW of renewable biogas energy to supply on-site cold storage and other facilities.

Deb Cairns Director

Helix Well Ops

Lucion provided a very competitive service and concise report to support our request for sampling of Hazardous Waste in relation to vessel disposal. The team were both efficient and comprehensive in their approach to the work. With a challenging deadline to achieve our submission for final report, they mobilised very quickly and provided regular updates during the process.

A very refreshing approach.
