This weekend's testing and measurement websites hotspot is New Delhi.
Both our websites have had visitors from the Indian capital, the second most populous city in India (after Mumbai), with almost 17 million inhabitants. New Delhi is the larger in terms of area, though, covering over 570 square miles or almost 1500 square kilometres.
New Delhi is said to be a microcosm of India, with a lot of activity in the arts, education and commerce, as well as fashion, finance, transport and more.
Amazingly, the city is only just over 100 years old - the foundation stone was laid on 15 December 1911 - and was designed by leading British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker.

Construction Materials Testing in Liverpool
Today's construction testing website hotspot
is Liverpool.
One of the most famous cities in the world, Liverpool has a long and very varied history. It was founded in 1207 and granted city status in 1880, between which dates it grew into a major sea port and featured significantly in the slave trade in the 18th century.
Many Irish immigrants also passed through Liverpool and its cosmopolitan population has helped to make it one of the most culturally aware cities in the UK, especially in the music industry. Liverpool artists have had more number one singles than those from any other city.
The city also has a rich architectural heritage and was the site of the world's first railway tunnel, started in 1829.

Construction Materials Testing in London
Today's construction testing website hotspot
is London.
We often get a lot of traffic from London but try not to include the same city too often in our hotspot spot. However, the stats don't lie. The fact is that London has more history and interesting facts than almost any other city in the world, and with major construction projects ongoing, the demand for construction-related equipment, soil testing equipment and so on, is as big as ever.
That's why London is top of today's visitor stats for Novanna Testing (our construction testing site) AND www.novanna.co.uk, our general testing equipment website.

Apparently, not everyone there is on the beach.
