NEXT GEN APP Lucion Services


Safety specialist Lucion Services has partnered with Northumbria University to develop an innovative new app to directly connect building plans and drawings with data from asbestos surveys and laboratory analysis information.


The NexGen app forms part of a new approach to Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems and is being undertaken as part of an Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project.


As part of the KTP with Northumbria University, Lucion Services is hosting one of the university’s specialist developers to work on the project, which will provide a new and technically-advanced way of completing safety and risk management assessments in buildings.


The new software will present users with a 3D image of a building, including floor-by -floor and room-by-room representations, allowing users and surveyors to flag up the presence of asbestos or other safety hazards more accurately and efficiently.


The new app aims to reduce human error, eliminating the risk of mistakes made with traditional paper-based plans and subsequent problems associated with the inspection of buildings.


Lucion’s current NexGen BIM database already allows users to access asbestos and building safety information including site survey reports and historical data. Linking this to the 3D visualisation of sites, buildings and individual rooms will bring new levels of detail for more accurate risk management considerations.

First invented and patented by Milliken OBEX, the new ARX collection features an ultra-durable interlocking modular system made of UV resistant and recyclable PVC, combined with high performance textiles to deliver functional and aesthetically-pleasing entrance flooring solutions.


The innovative ARX HD product line is the second generation of this unique concept, based on modularity, function and design, and ease of installation on site.


The collection consists of three products: Prior HD, Tergo HD and Forma HD, which are all offered in both 11 and 16 mm thicknesses to meet all architectural requirements for installation in recessed mat wells or surface mounting on the floor, with open or closed construction for outdoor and indoor installations.


• Prior HD incorporates resilient scrapers to remove particulate dirt.


• Tergo HD modules include heavy-duty, solution-dyed textile inserts made from 100% Econyl polyamide monofilaments to provide a strong brushing action to stop dirt and dust in their tracks.


• Forma HD includes a textile insert constructed with two types of Econyl polyamide high quality fibres: multifilaments to capture moisture and monofilaments that provide a tough scraping action against dirt particles carried in from the outside. These unique twisted and heat set yarns provide a superior performance and easy dirt release during the cleaning process.


All three products are designed to be combined and work as a Zone 1 and Zone 2 barrier system, offering great protection for your flooring, which can be further improved with a textile modular tile such as Quadrus as a Zone 3 solution.
