WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
John Partlett
Project Manager, V2R Projects
On a recent fire separation project for Defence, we removed a ceiling to discover that purlins assumed to be steel were timber. Failing to identify a deemed to satisfy system we turned to Sotera for help engaging them to design an engineered solution. The Sotera team were a delight to deal with. Professional from the first contact, through the design process and finally through the construction and sign off stage. I would not hesitate to recommend Sotera to anyone needing a Fire Engineer.
