Together with Market Cross corporate member, Cerberus Nuclear, Market Cross is providing radiation safety advice for shielding integrity works on new radiography facilities in Cumbria. The radiography facilities are important test beds for welds, products and steel plate for large vessel construction.
Market Cross is very pleased to have been invited back on the project (now complete) and is looking forward to providing similar support in phase 2 of the project.
Market Cross corporate member, RITE Advice Ltd, has been training safety supervisors for the Pioneering Spirit installation and de-commissioning vessel. The Spirit is the largest, most versatile offshore construction vessel in the world and is able to lift entire platform topsides and jackets in a single piece.
The training involved theoretical and practical applications of safe working practices held up by the relevant legislative frameworks. This included ways in how to deal with naturally occurring materials and hazards in this very unique workplace.

This month Market Cross completed an audit on the environmental permitting and radiation safety aspects of a number of oil and gas process diagnosic sites around the world. Together with our client, Environmental Resources Management (ERM) Ltd, this top level audit covered all aspects of corporate Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) for activites carried out by the end client within the industry.
The EHS audit was carried out by a team of auditors around the world and the environmental permitting and radiation safety audit strategy was led by Market Cross
In collaboration with our partner and corporate member Cerberus Nuclear, a series of shielding integrity tests were successfully completed at the Trauma, Teaching and Tertial Care (3Ts) redevelopment project at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.
The project involved the use of industrial radiography sources and a betatron accelerator all of which required strict radiological control and full RPA support.
As part of our committment to community support projects Market Cross provided voluntary support to the Osmington summer fete this month. A full risk assessment was carried out and a number of recommendations were made. Of course, these were implemented prior to commencement of the fun and games.
This month Market Cross were tasked to carry out some ground investigation and health phyiscs work on a site suitable for development. This time, however, the work brought about a tinge of nostalia. This was because the work was undertaken on the very site where Market Cross was conceived and incorporated, Winfrith Technology Centre.
Today the site is known as Dorset Innovation Park and Market Cross still has its main office there at Chesil House.
Market Cross has been asked to provide critical examinations, qualified radiation protection advice and radiation moniting services to asist in the development of a proprietary X-ray based steel assay system.
The type of support adapts as the project matures and this is due to design modifications and quality assurance requirements typical of a development project. We are looking forward to a successsful conclusion to the project when the prototype will go into in production and provide significant cost savings within the steel industry.
Today we are proud to announce that we have made a significant donation to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. This money will be used to distribute food and basic aid items and provide medical and psychosocial support for people arriving in Ukraine’s neighbouring countries such as Poland, Moldova, Slovakia and Romania.
Our usual remit is to donate to scientific and educational based charities in the local area but this year the heartbreaking and desperate situation in Ukraine together with the heroic actions of its population have inspired our members to make an exception. In fact, we have donated 15% of our entire annual profit for the financial year 2020/2021 to the British Red Cross.
We very much stand with the people of Ukraine.
