From thatched-roof huts, to today’s concrete and glass skyscrapers, humans have always come up with new building techniques.
In particular, construction engineering has become a specialised, bespoke sector comprised of many small firms. Due to its multi-disciplinary nature, some consultancy work is also a must for SMEs in the construction sector.
Singapore-based Asti Engineering Pte Ltd is one such player. The firm offers services that range from project management, interior design, M&E engineering to specialised engineering. Be it manufacturing plants, offices, clean rooms, data centres or laboratories, Asti provides turnkey solutions with end-to-end engineering capabilities.
With a team of engineers and technicians, Asti has built for clients in mainly scientific industries, like biomedicine, chemicals, aerospace, as well as various industrial and commercial applications. To date, Asti focuses on specialised solutions, such as clean rooms, data centres, and laboratories.
