Quality & compliance
Evidence over assumption. Every job, every time.
Critical infrastructure customers need more than a completed job — they need proof it was done right. These standards shape how we scope work, what we record and what we hand over.
Our approach
Four principles that shape every visit
Compliance-led scoping
Scoped from the standard, not the quote
Every job starts from the applicable standard — OFTEC, DSEAR, HSG 176, Duty of Care — not from what is quickest to price.
Evidence you can audit
Proof, not assurances
Photographs, ELOK camera footage from inside the tank (the ExSight 6 is certified for use inside fuel tanks), sample results, waste transfer notes and signed engineer reports for every attendance — indexed by site and asset, and ready for insurer or regulator review without further assembly.
Root cause, not repair
Fix the source, not the symptom
When a fault repeats, our root cause analysis tests the mechanism, the fuel and the operating environment together — so the finding is the source of the failure, not its latest symptom.
One accountable partner
One contract, one point of accountability
Lakeside Oils Ltd is the contracting entity behind both Fusion Power Services and Fusion Fuels. One supplier, one insurance policy and one point of accountability across inspections, fuel supply and remedial works.
Documentation
What you receive after every attendance
Every visit closes with a report signed on site, followed by a digital pack sent to you with the documents relevant to the work carried out.
- Signed engineer report with site and asset references
- Dated photographs — before, during and after
- Fuel sample results and ISO 4406 rating where taken
- Waste transfer notes under Duty of Care
- Risk-rated defect list with remedial actions
- Suggested next visit date and interval
