Physics Students Visit Soil Instruments

Sixteen Year 12 students from Uckfield Community Technology College braved the freezing temperatures and ventured down to Soil Instruments for their annual visit. All studying "A"level Physics, the students were keen to see Soil Instruments geotechnical and structural sensors with a particular interest in Vibrating Wire technology sensors, which they have been studying as part of their course.

The students were greeted by Jeremy Scott, General Manager, before being given a tour of the manufacturing facilities by Anthony Hartup, Operations Manager. Richard Marshall, Soil's Sales Manager gave a talk on the need for geotechnical and structural monitoring, presenting a variety of sensors and showing dramatic video examples of geological and structural failure.

Thanks to Chris Brooks, from UCTC and Nicole Mathes, Soil's Marketing Manager for coordinating the visit.
