Two incredible days of hands-on preservation work to remind us why asset integrity matters.

Held during Mental Health Awareness Week, SOCOTEC's Bids & Commercial Support Manager, Lynne Allman volunteered to prepare Moira Furnace Museum for a two-day Canal Festival. She and other volunteers swept three floors, hosted the MG Car Owners Club through unpredictable weather, built gazebos, and managed finances. Every task was undertaken by volunteers to keep this historic Derbyshire site operational and ready for visitors.

At SOCOTEC, we see this same dedication in our work across construction and infrastructure, whether it's a heritage building or modern infrastructure, asset integrity isn't just about technical inspection, it's about the ongoing commitment to keep structures safe, functional, and relevant for the communities they serve.

The parallel is clear: preservation requires expertise, attention to detail, and people who understand that every small action contributes to long-term viability. That's the foundation of effective risk management and the heart of what we do across 26 countries.

Sometimes the most meaningful work happens one floor, one repair, one inspection at a time.

Protecting communities with innovative landslide monitoring

In December 2023, the Isle of Wight experienced one of the largest coastal landslides ever recorded on England's south coast, 76 hectares and 14 million cubic metres of displaced land at Leeson Road.

Our advanced remote monitoring system kept the community safe:
- High-precision GNSS tracking with sub-centimetre accuracy
- Real-time data via wireless sensors
- Automated early warning alerts
- Residents returned home safely
- Critical transport links reopened

Combining cutting-edge technology with expert analysis, we're strengthening coastal infrastructure resilience and protecting communities from landslide risks.

PFAS are found everywhere, in water, soil and everyday products around the world.

Their persistence, slow breakdown and known health impacts make them a growing environmental priority.

While regulations continue to evolve and new detection and remediation technologies emerge, each comes with its own challenges but one thing is certain: PFAS management will remain a key focus for years to come.
