Research and Development

At Zycon, we have a growing passion for research and development (R&D) as we appreciate that the technology and tools we work with today, as well as the good things of life we enjoy, are all products of ground-breaking innovative research and development efforts, and we are committed to carrying and passing this on to the next generation. That is why our internal team of experts are constantly in touch/working with leading research institutions, universities, research laboratories, manufacturers and independent researchers to develop innovative solutions to some of the most challenging issues clients face today in their specialist areas. Our internal experts can synchronise research and development related to all aspects of our core services - Water and Environment, Engineering, Renewable Energy Technology, and Oil and Gas. At Zycon, we maintain strict confidentiality standards regarding R&D, as we understand the importance of this in most R&D projects. Below are a few summaries of some past and ongoing R&D projects our team of experts has been or is currently involved with in our specialist areas:
