Founded in 1974, RST is known within the industry for its reliability, and the quality of its products. Headquartered in Maple Ridge, B.C., the RST Instruments plant excels at engineering instrumentation. From the conceptual design of site-specific products to the exceptional post-sale calibration and repair service offered by the company’s technical department, RST’s commitment to client satisfaction is a team goal. Over 50 per cent of all instrumentation manufactured at RST is specifically engineered to meet individual project requirements.
The company has recently been involved with projects such as La Yesca Dam in Mexico, the Mount Milligan Mine in B.C., the California Department of Water Resources and the City of Surrey. RST also recently developed and delivered a drain hole mapping system for a BC Hydro project on the Columbia River.
RST is able to provide custom engineered solutions to site-specific problems, either on a design-build basis, or in co-operation with the client. With ISO 9001 Certification, RST has a proven track record for quality, long-term stability and product reliability. The company’s 40,000-square-foot modern facility incorporates CAD, CAM and CNC manufacturing techniques. Such techniques assure high quality, at a reasonable cost, with timely delivery.
In 2013, a new ERP (enterprise resource planning) system was brought online. This system—NTS Apollo—provides continuous control from CRM (customer relations management), through order entry, procurement and production, shipment and billing. RST has hundreds of high technology products built in-house, sales in 70 countries and 67 employees.
