Background
Marlowe Environmental Services began working with a leading financial institution in 2024 to deliver a comprehensive radon testing programme across 94 sites throughout the UK and Ireland.
The client required confirmation that all workplaces met the necessary health and safety standards regarding radon exposure. As part of their proactive compliance strategy, the programme aimed to provide assurance that all facilities remained safe and below regulatory thresholds.
Therefore, this project demonstrates Marlowe Environmental Services’ capability to deliver large-scale environmental testing services across multiple regions, while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and professionalism.
Challenge
Radon is a naturally occurring, odourless, and radioactive gas that can accumulate indoors, presenting a significant health risk if not properly managed. With no existing site data, the client required a complete testing programme across their entire UK and Ireland estate.
Marlowe Environmental Services faced the challenge of coordinating installations and collections at 94 locations. Demonstrating consistent methodology and minimal disruption to business operations. The programme required careful planning, robust logistics, and precise execution.
Solution
Marlowe Environmental Services’ managed the end-to-end process, overseeing the planning, coordination, and site logistics.
Detectors were carefully positioned at each site in accordance with regulatory guidance, and all placements were recorded for traceability and analysis. Sensors remained in place for a three-month period to ensure accurate measurement of radon levels, before being collected and sent to a certified laboratory for independent testing.
Throughout the process, our engineers maintained clear communication with site representatives. This ensures testing was conducted smoothly and efficiently, with no disruption to day-to-day operations.
Value Added
Laboratory analysis confirmed that all tested sites were operating well below the Health and Safety Executive’s action threshold for radon levels.
Additionally, the outcome provided the client with complete assurance of safety and compliance, with no remedial works required – saving both time and cost.
This successful delivery showcased Marlowe Environmental Services’ capability to manage large-scale environmental compliance projects across complex, multi-site estates. The project established a strong foundation for ongoing partnership and further environmental risk management support.
Feedback
The client expressed high satisfaction with the professionalism and organisation of the Marlowe Environmental Services team. The efficiency of the programme and the clear communication throughout the process were highlighted as key strengths.
