30+ Years Serving DOE Clients
Lucas (headquartered in Richland, Washington) has served the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hanford Site for over 30 years, as well as DOE sites across the country. We have completed many difficult high-hazard projects in the DOE complex.
Our services are nationwide:
-
Engineering for Private Industrial Companies
-
Environmental Remediation
-
Radiation Safety
-
Staff Augmentation
We are small enough to be responsive and cost effective, yet large enough to offer a team with experts in many specialties.
Services
Our teams deliver engineering and technical services, project delivery, radiological and environmental services, and operations services for nuclear, environmental, and industrial clients. Based in Richland, Washington, we support DOE programs (including Hanford) and environmental remediation projects nationwide. Whether you need staff augmentation, construction management, facility readiness assessments, or specialized radiological and waste services, we bring a responsive, safety-focused approach and a seasoned multi-disciplinary team.
Lucas's Service Strengths
Environmental Engineering (WA, TN + US)
We support environmental engineering needs across Washington State, Tennessee, and the U.S., including design, planning, and technical support for remediation and compliance-driven projects. Our approach emphasizes practical field execution and clear documentation that consistently stands up to regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
Construction Management (Richland, DOE + industrial)
Construction management improves industrial projects by improving safety, controlling schedule and cost, coordinating subcontractors, and ensuring quality requirements are met. In Richland, WA and beyond, we support owners and primes with planning, field oversight, reporting, and closeout.
Nuclear Facility Engineering & Process Engineering
Nuclear process engineering involves defining system functions and requirements, developing technical bases, supporting design and modifications, and ensuring operations can be executed safely and reliably. We provide engineering support for many high-hazard work environments and mission-critical performance.
Project Management & Turnkey Project Execution
For clients seeking turnkey execution support, we help carry projects from planning through delivery. Our project managers bring decades of DOE experience to projects through clear documentation and practical execution for industrial and nuclear-adjacent work.
Facility & Startup Readiness Assessments
Facility readiness assessments evaluate whether people, processes, equipment, and documentation are prepared to start or restart work safely. We assess readiness criteria, identify gaps, and provide actionable recommendations to support safe startup and sustained performance.
Decontamination & Decommissioning Planning
Lucas's D&D planning includes the strategy, sequencing, hazards, waste pathways, and documentation needed to safely decontaminate and decommission facilities. We support planning and technical coordination to reduce risk, improve predictability, and clearly plan compliant execution with a unique HOP expertise.
Radiological Characterization & Waste Management
Radiological characterization services help reduce uncertainty, classify waste, plan transportation, and mitigate unexpected safety-related costly. We provide radiological waste management planning and technical services to help teams manage materials responsibly and efficiently.
Staff Augmentation (Hanford, Paducah, Oak Ridge, & Savannah River)
We provide staff augmentation for engineering and project delivery roles on site and in the office. Our clients appreciate the ability to call upon our senior team, enabling their internal staff to take on more work. We have team members around the country, enabling responsive support for local and regional projects.
Operations Support (Hanford, Paducah, Oak Ridge, & Savannah River)
Operations support strengthens day-to-day execution through performance improvement, readiness support, procedure and work control assistance, and field-focused problem solving.
