Following our extensive 2004 surveys at Battersea Power Station for the last owners, we are pleased to have been engaged once again by the present owners and are currently carrying our large packages of consultancy/surveys works.

Our works include surveys to the Facades as well as the 4 iconic chimneys where our roped access teams are climbing and descending each of them at the present.

Latest Networking and Informative events

IMG_00000014

At the Concrete & Corrosion Consultancy Practice we have been very hectic promoting and developing networking and informative events in the last few months.

From the annual Bridges exhibition in Birmingham to seminars around the country, we have been travelling and networking with different professionals in the industry. And now we are looking into  next seasons free CPD seminars in Manchester, Edinburgh and London.

We believe that establishing relations with your customers and the people you work with is key in achieving great results for both parties.

In April, we went up to Birmingham to exhibit in the Bridges 2013 Conference, in which we met some of our current and future clients.  It was a very informative event and we truly enjoyed being there.
