    They were a UK company based in London. They also worked on the new runway in Heathrow.

    Thanks in advance. I forgot the name.

    Nope. I was subcontracted to them. I will know the name when I see it. I cannot believe I forgot.

    No. They were originally contracted to design the entire M8 but Im reffering to the company who actually tested the concrete,blacktop,aggregate etc.

    They were based in London, Grosvenor place or Square. Im still googling but nothing yet.

    By the way Berty, your good work with the concrete barrier wasn't undone by the junction 14 tie-in. They chipped away at your barrier to expose the metal bars inside and then fused these with the new concrete median. I was impressed.
