    Acquisition

    Acquisition

    Every great project begins with a great plan. 

     

    We work with developers and designers in a variety of sectors, whether that is analysing feasibility, hazards, or risks, from soil to water. Our experts conduct detailed technical and quality inspections and assist with certifications.

     

    We support you at the earliest stage, so you know everything you need to know when you need to know it.

    Development

    Development

    It takes agility and flexibility to turn plans into reality.

     

    We work with partners in the development phase of many large and complicated projects carrying out pre-work diagnostics and meeting regulatory obligations. Working collaboratively, we help control costs, deadlines, and environmental risks, as well as the selection of partners for design and realisation. 

    Operations & Maintenance

    Operations & Maintenance

    Doing what it takes, to do things right.

     

    Throughout the country, there are hundreds of sites which have continuous management and monitoring from the SOCOTEC UK team. 

     

    We are by your side, identifying and anticipating risks and ensuring quality and durability. 


    We are committed to ensuring the protection of employees and surrounding communities, whether that is preserving structural conditions or meeting regulatory obligations. All inspections and monitoring are backed by our expert UK team of scientists and labs.

    End of life

    End of Life

    Important at the start. Important at the end. 

     

    The safe and considerate end of a project is as important as the beginning. Our team of experts and on-the-ground partners help analyse the initial state of sites ahead of works and demolition, making sure to prevent any impacts on neighbouring structures and to implement environmental procedures for demolitions.

    A network of expertise

    We link you with the expertise you need for the right service and the right situation.

    We are global, national, and local. Global expertise. Local relationships.

     

    Across the full asset lifecycle. From the lab to the field, to the site, to the courtroom, to the finish and back again. Whatever it takes.

     

    You will see our people in Staffordshire, London and above the cliffs of Dover. Our network stretches to wherever our clients require us.

    Problem Solving

    Plain speaking, problem-solving

    We pride ourselves on the character of our people and relationships.

     

    This means we believe in our expertise, equipment, and facilities, as well as in the way we advise and report. 

     

    We believe even the most complex data and reports must be shared in ways which are easy for everyone to understand, and easy to action.

    Data Driven

    Data-driven approach

    Up and down the country, the SOCOTEC network is constantly monitoring, researching, and learning.

     

    We know that our advice is only ever as good as the data available to us. 

     

    It’s why our reports are backed by teams on the ground and our advisory services are backed by science and years of experience.

    Buidling for tomorrow

    Building for tomorrow

    We don’t believe in shortcuts or savings for the sake of savings. We do the right thing by our clients.
