Lucion Delta-Simons Ltd has provided invaluable advice on the environmental elements at West Midlands Interchange allowing us as owners and development managers to proceed with confidence on this complex and challenging scheme.  Lucion Delta-Simons Ltd has worked with sensitivity and flexibility around the various land ownership issues encountered and combined seamlessly with the other members of the professional team to help move through the purchase of the site towards enabling works, infrastructure, and unit construction.  We look forward to continuing our work with the team to deliver this exciting and significant logistics scheme.

Lucion Delta-Simons Ltd took on a hopelessly muddled attempt at remediation coupled with very difficult relations between contractors and the regulatory authorities and quickly introduced clarity and coherence to the situation.  Their advice was succinct and to the point and yet detailed enough to satisfy the regulators. A seemingly intractable situation was resolved quickly, and without fuss allowing us to get on with the development.

Quite simply, we could not have made the progress we have achieved at Leafbridge without the support of Lucion Delta-Simons Ltd. They were a fundamental part of the team in the process that delivered us a planning consent for the site and have provided ongoing support through the discharge of planning conditions and detailed design activities. Their greatest strength has to be their responsiveness. If we uncover an issue on site, we know that by making one call they will be able to quickly send someone to site who will provide professional support and assistance.

Paul Wheatley Senior Project Manager

The project team have provided invaluable advice and expert reports on the geo-environmental aspects of this complex site culminating in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals from the Local Authority, Natural England and the Environment Agency to allow the development to proceed. The team have allowed us to proceed with confidence on this complex and challenging scheme. We look forward to working with the team throughout the enabling/construction works and also on future brownfield regeneration projects.

Geotechnical Classification FAQs

To get started with Classification Testing services, developers typically need to reach out to a geotechnical testing provider, such as Lucion, to discuss their project’s specific requirements.

We work with you to create a bespoke testing plan that provides the necessary insights to move your project forward with confidence.

The turnaround time for Classification Testing results can vary depending on the provider and the complexity of the project. Many geotechnical laboratories offer both standard and fast-tracked reporting options to ensure developers receive their results within a timeframe that aligns with their project’s schedule.

When choosing a Classification Testing service provider, it’s important to look for a geotechnical laboratory that combines cutting-edge facilities with a team of highly skilled experts. The provider should not just deliver data, but offer meaningful interpretations and actionable insights tailored to the land development project’s unique needs.

Classification Testing provides the data necessary to determine whether the soil and rock on a site meet the requirements set out in building regulations. By understanding the engineering properties of a site’s geotechnical composition, developers can make informed decisions that ensure compliance and minimise the risk of costly delays or remedial work.

The specific tests required for a project will depend on various factors, such as the nature of the development, site conditions, and local regulations. A geotechnical testing provider should work closely with the developer to determine the most appropriate tests for their needs, which may include Liquid and Plastic Limit testing, Particle Size Distribution Testing, Sedimentation Testing by Pipette, and more.

Classification Testing provides detailed information about the engineering properties of the soil and rock on a site. This knowledge enables developers to make informed decisions about foundation design, excavation methods, and material suitability, ultimately helping to optimise the use of land and minimise potential issues down the line.
