Case Study
Sewell Construction Ltd

Lucion Services is the UK market leader for accredited hazardous material testing, surveying, and consultancy. Providing trusted holistic environmental services to commercial clients across multiple sectors.

Following an initial site visit with our longstanding construction and facilities management client, Sewell Construction Ltd,, our team delivered a suite of hazardous materials surveys, testing and consultancy to aid in the refurbishment and development of offices and leisure spaces on 5 Victorian, derelict Mills.

Month Contract

Former mill buildings, Victorian & derelict, full refurbishment to form offices and leisure spaces.

Challenges

The aim of the project was to identify lead paints, ensure safety for construction workers, removal/abatement of lead paint, ensure and demonstrate compliance, promptly.

To aid our client in their goal progression, our team was tasked to get the client’s sites surveyed and their hazards identified and managed within a 13 month period.

This was particularly challenging as the 5 sites included derelict buildings with some areas difficult to access, which added additional challenges and strain on the project timeline. Additionally, previous paint testing was incomplete and historical information was poor, so we supported the client with advice around regulatory requirements needed to ensure compliance.

The Solution

To ensure the contact was delivered successfully and on-time, our team were responsive to changing issues and priorities, and developed the range of services developed as the contract progressed. we delivered bespoke solutions, developing a whole-cycle lead in paint support from identification to removal and management plan.
