The Materials Research and Testing Centre (MRTC) is ambitious in up grading its services to respond to the infrastructure development technological advancement and time bound demand. To fulfill such selfesteemed market driven capacity building the human and the machine /equipment efficiency coupled with wellacclaimed services badly needs a customer satisfaction oriented readiness.
With the above in mind, the Centre entered an agreement with MAFECON PLC for the purpose of machine and equipment repair, routine service and subsequent training of the technical staff as well as preparing technical specification document for the purchase of a geo-technical drilling rig.As a result, though through many ups and downs with regard to availability of spares for the items to be repaired and the time needed to acquire the supplements some success are achieved as enumerated below.
