Why?
Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences often rely on digital modelling of phenomena. To be able to create and validate these models, large scale experiments are required. Our laboratories offer a vast range of unique experimental setups for just that. They’re available for contract and scientific research.
How?
The setups include Meccano-like test rigs (to test concrete and glass structures to breaking point), complete riverbed simulators, a full-scale house on a shaking table for earthquake research, a liquefaction tank for river bank stability measurements and more.
