How good do these prepared samples look? Ready to hit the ground running on testing now…
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.
Dr William Bamford has been re-appointed as an honorary Principal Fellow, with the title of Associate Professor, in the Department of Infrastructure Engineering at the University of Melbourne. It continues his long association with the University and recognises his fine contribution to the development and excellence of engineering in this state and country.
His ongoing association with the Engineering departments and Faculty at the University of Melbourne sometimes includes mentoring students here at BRTS, making the BRTS Rock Testing Laboratory available to engineering colleagues as well as continuing his important work in Geotechnical Testing and Consulting for engineering projects around Australia.
