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.
