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.
