Continuing Services
	Gartek continues to be involved in Miscellaneous Engineering Services Contracts with several governmental agencies and private business. Though hardly ever considered "glamorous", we find that projects generated by this type of contract are usually the most challenging. One factor which remains constant within this framework, no matter which client, is the design turn around time and budget constraints. Gartek has been able to thrive on these type contracts, mostly because we dedicate the required time up front to investigate conditions prior to the start of design.
