19. Best Environmental Measurement Services 2026 - Co. Kilkenny specific discharge events. Samples are then laboratory-analysed to verify water quality. The automated sampling process saves time and ensures consistency and accuracy, providing a practical and dependable way to maintain oversight of discharge activities. Concept Solutions’ preventative maintenance service provides real-time data and earlywarning alerts, allowing operators to address issues before they become serious problems. An online platform with built-in diagnostic tools helps engineers assess potential requirements before visiting a site. Monitoring technology sits alongside existing plant systems and provides clear insights that help improve efficiency and minimise the risk of unexpected failures. Working closely with clients, the company takes a 360-degree approach to measurement and verification, ensuring reliable data and greater confidence in environmental reporting. It’s a priority for the Concept Solutions team to stay informed about the latest technology. Offering high-quality training courses to its clients, staff regularly attend ‘train the trainer’ sessions, and the company is currently investing in CPD certification. Edward says: “We are not fixated on shifting boxes and making a profit. We build strong alliances with manufacturers that produce cutting-edge systems to offer our clients best-in-class solutions. In Ireland, we’re very socially conscious, we want to do the right thing, and at Concept Solutions, we’re adopting innovations and technologies to help the country do that.” For the rest of the year and beyond, Concept Solutions intends to focus much of its attention on optimising water treatment plants. With many structures over 10 years old, running at full capacity, or generally in disrepair, the company can use new technology to optimise existing infrastructure and reduce environmental impact. By gathering and analysing information, algorithms can be improved and processes better controlled. Edward explains: “With optimisation, discharge monitoring is the key to ensuring watchdog parameters are in place. Our Opti-Box system is ideal for algorithm development and testing before implementation. It can be a laborious process, but we’re getting fantastic results. Optimisation reduces energy and chemical use, and improves efficiency by up to 30%. With recent developments in AI, we aim to significantly reduce the learning time required from 8 months to 2.” Concept Solutions has also invested in a mobile workshop and laboratory, enabling staff to provide faster on-site diagnostics at client facilities. Understanding exactly which areas require attention more quickly will reduce downtime and promote more effective rollout of process improvements.
