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.

Testing and Measurement in Leipzig

Today's testing and measurement websites hotspot is Leipzig. 

This town in Saxony, Germany, is about 150km south of Berlin and has a population of over half a million people. It's home to the famous Leipzig Festival, and has been a significant trade centre since the time of the Holy Roman Empire and was first documented in 1015. 

The city sits at the intersection of two major medieval trade routes. 

Leipzig became an important cultural centre, too, and after World War Two it developed into a major urban city within East Germany, although its economic importance declined. Leipzig's citizens played an important part in the protests that lead to the reunification of Germany and the modern city has been voted one of the best places to live in the world.
