ECS Engineering Services has again demonstrated its commitment to safe working practices by winning the prestigious Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) President’s Award.

Companies involved in engineering and technology have a responsibility to help develop the next generation of scientists, mathematicians and engineers, offering them an insight into career possibilities.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has been undertaking scientific research on and around the Antarctic continent for over 60 years. The extremes of weather mean that the various structures used to house equipment, laboratories, workshops and accommodation are continuously being improved and replaced. ECS Engineering Services has been supporting this work by supplying high specification, bespoke steel fabrications each year for the last 20 years.

The Environment Agency has awarded ECS Engineering Services, one of its framework contractors, with a project to design, build and install a new bridge in Mapledurham, near Reading. As the exclusive UK agent for FiberCore Europe, the proposed design from ECS will use proprietary technology to construct a strong, lightweight and durable structure using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP).
