About
Historic England Limited awarded a contract to FEI UK Ltd for the decommissioning, relocation, and recommissioning of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) at the Fort Cumberland technology department.
The SEM was decommissioned in January 2024, moved from the first floor to the ground floor of the MT building to accommodate laboratory works, and returned to the first floor in May 2024 for recommissioning.
The contract, valued at AUD 12,841.25, was necessary because the SEM is complex and highly specialised laboratory equipment that can only be serviced by the original equipment manufacturer, FEI Ltd.
