Our Engineering and Oils team is delighted to announce a significant achievement: we have successfully reduced our reporting limit for Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) content in oils. Following a rigorous validation process, we have lowered the reporting limit from 20mg/kg to 10mg/kg. This milestone allows our clients to leverage their UKAS accredited test results for oil re-use, supported by industry-wide commitments from UK oil suppliers. PCBs, banned in the UK in 1981 due to their toxicity, were once essential in electrical transformers for their superior properties. This achievement proves our commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation in compliance standards. Stay tuned for more updates on how we continue to lead in sustainability and regulatory excellence! https://ow.ly/BH6A50SBzHb #EnvironmentalCompliance #PCBReduction #InnovationInEngineering #SOCOTECUK #Sustainability

We're proud to have played a crucial role in safeguarding the Silvertown Tunnel project, a transformative infrastructure initiative linking north and south London. Scheduled for completion in 2025, this project aims to alleviate congestion at the Blackwall Tunnel and stimulate local regeneration. Since November 2018, our team has been instrumental in conducting geotechnical and structural monitoring, employing advanced instrumentation and real-time data analysis to ensure the project's integrity. Our work includes installing baseline monitoring instruments well ahead of site works and providing ongoing support throughout the construction phases. Technical excellence defines our approach, with over 2000 sensors and 150 wireless dataloggers installed using various advanced methods, including rotary drilling on the River Thames foreshore and rope access teams on river walls. Discover how our innovative approach and technical expertise are making a difference in this project.
