Laboratories

With our labs located in Newcastle Upon Tyne and Peterborough, we boast an unrivalled level of resources and diverse testing capabilities in the UK. Due to our capacity and capabilities, we react quickly to urgent works or restricted timescales without compromising on quality controls. 

Our hazardous materials laboratory operates under the legal entity Lucion Services. Lucion Services is a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory No. 2569 and inspection body No. 0263 in relation to asbestos.  

All other analyses conducted in our hazardous materials laboratory are outside UKAS accreditation but are recognised in our BSI encompassing ISO 9001:2015, 45001, and 140001, and are subject to our internal validation testing.  

Our geotechnical testing laboratory operates under the legal entity Lucion Ground Engineering. Lucion Ground Engineering is a UKAS accredited testing laboratory No. 8180, and recognised in our ISO 17025:2017. 

Both our laboratory accreditation suites ensure that our testing and calibration meet the highest standards. Additionally, our commitment to quality is reflected in certifications such as ISO 9001:2015. 

As standard, all our lab analysts participate in internal quality assurance and external proficiency testing schemes which provide feedback on our laboratory team’s performance on a regular basis. This information is used to improve our quality control processes and ensures we are continually reviewing the way we work as an organisation. 

Through our labs we provide a range of geotechnical testing, soils classification, hazardous materials analysis and heavy metals identification.
