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.
