Today we launched our first internal podcast of ‘The Real Substance’, aimed to help our people learn more about the important roles that different teams across the business carry out, and how their work contributes to the success of our business. Thanks to our fantastic hosts Lisa Massey and David Gough for all their work to make the podcast a reality, The first edition was focused on giving our people an update on the progress of the business and people so far this year. In future podcasts we will be opening them up to you as we're joined by experts, guest speakers and much more! What Real Substance would you like to hear about first?

Our 2024 Early Careers Apprenticeship cohort kicked off their biodiversity project, Project Badger, with an exciting day at Go Ape in Cannock Chase. Despite the rain, apprentices from across the country gathered to meet each other and dive into team-building activities. The day began with a fun and competitive game session called Baboonzled! Where two teams, led by our HR Director and Managing Director, competed in various challenges. This was followed by the main event – the high ropes challenge. Apprentices navigated tightropes, rope ladders, and zip wires, fostering teamwork, courage and support for one another. After a well-earned BBQ lunch, the apprentices officially launched Project Badger, which aims to increase biodiversity within SOCOTEC UK sites. They reflected on lessons learned from the day, such as teamwork and communication and began brainstorming ways to enhance biodiversity at our sites. The project will be presented in a presentation to our Executive team in December 2024. We wish our apprentices the best as they work on Project Badger alongside their daily roles and look forward to seeing their innovative solutions for improving biodiversity.

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.
