R G Carter, the region’s leading construction company has announced that they have opened their brand new engineering facility. The site is located in Attleborough and is the result of £14 million investment from the company. The creation of this new engineering facility will bring together its ground investigation, design, piling and civil engineering teams onto one site.

R G Carter hope that the creation of this new site, and the combination of a wide range of different offerings under one roof will help to provide an enhanced service for both current and potential new clients.

The progress has been seen as an exciting time for the construction company and will help them to bring their engineering companies together, while also having the opportunity to make the most of purpose-built facilities which will help employees to work more closely together in order to improve our services to R G Carter’s clients. The new laboratory is UKAS accredited and is known for being one of the best equipped facilities in East Anglia. The new site will offer the company a great foundation for them to develop their soil and materials testing capabilities.

The creation of this new facility will help to provide the local community with extra jobs and will also look to engage with local schools by offering tours of their new site. This newly built site is an exceptional facility and home for the company and it is thought that the move to a much larger site with all the equipment available that they require, will allow R G Carter to deliver their best results and work more efficiently with each other.

At the official opening ceremony of the new Attleborough facility there were demonstrations to showcase the equipment installed on site. The demonstrations included the 3D printing capabilities as well as ground investigation drilling, foundation pile auguring, plant maintenance and welding.
