15 Year Anniversary

WELL,
WHAT A RIDE IT HAS BEEN

Since being formed back in 2004, K8T has become a thriving company that has had key roles across many sectors, from data centres, residential apartments and stadium design.

K8T has provided comprehensive computational fluid dynamics for many years with a wealth of knowledge and understanding that allows confidence in design solutions. This high level of analysis and understanding has provided a pivotal role across the last 15 years. This has been highlighted recently, at the Pan American Games in Lima, with our role advising on the design of the Videna Athletics Stadium. Our analysis has been key to providing an exciting and compliant stadium for track and field events.
