Testing times


BRE, also known as the Building Research Establishment was set up in Hertfordshire in the 1920s and boasts a whole host of testing laboratories including both large & small structure testing labs, a burn hall, anechoic chamber, wind tunnel and many more bespoke testing environments to verify the safety standards of construction materials around the world. I am privileged to have focussed my lens on their operations for over 30 years as my longest running client.

A selection of images from recent shoots can be viewed below.
