Utilities
Quality control of utility works is becoming more important as more services are installed and repaired. Today’s road users are more critical. They are more inclined to complain to local authorities about the ride quality of the road network.
Simtec offers a range of tests and services to monitor the materials and workmanship of these projects. This reduces the need for subsequent visits to carry out remedial works.
Simtec’s testing range covers material compliance and classification, compaction control, and end-product testing.
