Engineering

We develop practical solutions to industrial challenges

Engineering is fundamental to commercialising research and transforming scientific concepts into real products. Measurement is at the heart of engineering, because you need to measure something in order to study and improve it.

We give industry the confidence to innovate by building the skills needed to enhance productivity and provide the measurement standards and techniques that help organisations get it 'right first time'. We provide verification for new technologies, which is vital in securing customer and investor confidence, and getting products to market more quickly.

Our experts help manufacturers be confident in the quality and quantity of their work, whether it's an aerospace engine, a turbine blade or a sub-nanometre part for a hard drive. We ensure compliance with stringent regulations and reliable measurements.
