LCM Environmental (part of Craggs Environmental Ltd) provide a wide range of fuel quality and tank safety services to both public and private sector organisations across the UK and beyond.
Since 1987 LCM has worked in the downstream fuel industry across a wide range of industry sectors providing a broad range of fuel management compliance and environmental services. These include fuel quality testing, fuel cleaning, fuel removal, tank and pipework safety testing, tank cleaning, tank removal, tank installation and full fuel facility management services.
In 2019 Craggs Environmental Ltd, one of the UK’s leading fuel and tank infrastructure servicing companies acquired Clovemead Fuel Systems and LCM Environmental Ltd businesses and combined all three companies to double their size, coverage and operational capacity. As part of the wider Craggs Energy Group, LCM Environmental now provide UK wide fuel distribution services in addition to their core fuel quality and tank safety services.
Hydrocarbon based fuels such as Diesel, Gas Oil and Kerosene are subject to degradation through exposure to light, heat and absorption of water from moisture in the atmosphere. This moisture is a major problem for fuel as it collects as free water in the bottom of tanks and also remains suspended within the fuel itself. The water then reacts with naturally occurring bacteria within the fuel forming a black sludge-like material which forms the majority of contamination problems for bulk fuel usage.
LCM are a leading UK supplier of fuel management services to any private or public organisation who use fuel in significant quantities and, in particular – for those where fuel is a critical asset such as the NHS, Ministry of Defence, Data Centres and heavy industry.
The company values incorporate:
• To put health and safety first at all times
• To have paramount regard for the environment
• To be innovative and to encourage staff to innovate safely
• To place a high value on integrity and trust with staff, customers and suppliers
As a continuous innovator, LCM invests heavily in technology and works with other global fuel industry pioneers to benefit the environment, the workforce and its partner companies. As well as its commitment to the environment, LCM champions improvements in health and safety standards.
LCM Environmental staff work in potentially dangerous environments handling fuel, other hazardous substances, working in confined spaces, working at heights, and working on spill response and clean-up in unstructured environments, including those close to water and at night. However, the reason that LCM has been able to maintain an exemplary safety record is the professionalism of their staff, continual investment in training and by embedding a strong safety culture since LCMs foundation in 1987 and Craggs Environmental’s in 2013.
