What the network means for Simtec customers
Infrastructure and construction programmes frequently depend on several types of technical evidence. A highways scheme may combine materials testing with pavement investigation, environmental assessment, structural inspection and long-term monitoring. Utility or development works may also need ground, ecological, calibration or compliance expertise.
Customers can continue to rely on Simtec for responsive materials testing and investigation while drawing on other Phenna Group specialists when a wider or multidisciplinary response is required.
