Refreshed by our Easter break, we continue to offer excellent service to clients from around the world.

We continue to observe mandated working conditions for the health of our staff and clients. We also ponder the state of the world at the moment and rejoice in construction forging on.

We have precautions in place to protect the Health and Safety of our workforce and to reduce the possibility that our ability to supply is impacted.

The measures that we have introduced are in line with the recommendations from the Federal Government and include:

  1. Real time monitoring of advice from the Federal Government and relevant heath authorities.
  2. Deferring non-essential visitors and contractors from our sites. Deliveries have a new protocol – check the rear door for instructions when bringing samples.
  3. We practise good personal hygiene in the laboratory, equipment is sanitised, everyone’s temperature is monitored and we are cognisant of our responsibility to each other and the wider community.

We wish all our clients continued good health.

This week, 12 students and their lecturer, Prof John Smith from RMIT, visited BRTS. They heard a lecture from Dr Bill Bamford, the head of Bamford Rock Testing Services, about the range of our services, the scope of testing for current projects in the laboratory and geotechnical work being undertaken in Victoria at the moment. All were delighted to watch videos starring and made by several of the Testing Engineers at BRTS, showcasing the tests and machines used here. A walkaround the laboratory at the end was very much appreciated by all.
