ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the career of Professor Mike Grantham, from humble beginnings as a laboratory technician dealing with plastics and polymers through to his baptism into cementitious materials with Harry Stanger Ltd. in the 1970’s and from then to STATS and to the formation of his own company with several partners. In 1992, he became self employed and set up his own consultancy, before his current appointment as a Consultant to Sandberg LLP. During those years there were many changes and challenges in the construction industry, with rapid development of non-destructive testing equipment to the present smaller, faster and better hand held devices for covermeter, half-cell potential, resistivity, ground probing radar and so on.
