When you have access to the IT guys
by Ian on Nov.11, 2009, under Materials and Construction
I had a meeting today with a newish testing lab in Scotland. CET Safehouse have arrived in the small marketplace in Scotland, and have a tool that the others do not have, Internet reporting. An evolved system, some five years in the making, not only does it act as a an electronic booking in system but it also has the worksheets and the report sheets integral to the whole system. In CET safehouse’s system they transfer into your inbox your checked and authorised results, this means you can pick up your results as fast as they produce them. UKAS still seem to rely on your final reporting function as the paper “certificate” being produced and checked and signed.
Wake up to the electronic era UKAS!
And one day after the announcement, Soil Mechanics have acquired from Bureau Veritas (BV) the whole of their testing labs.
Saynors to Weeks to BV to soil mechanics, a lot of “us” have history in those links.
And on the back of the award for the A96 project, Morrison Construction will have their own UKAS site based laboratory.
