Building Science Laboratory

The 'wet' laboratory provides a space of over 100m2 for the making and testing of a range of building materials including cement based products, coatings and membranes. 

In addition, there is an accelerated weathering facility for assessing the ability of materials to withstand climatic exposure and provision for the testing and monitoring of large construction components.  The 'clean' laboratory of 90m2 enables more accurate testing to be carried out in both a hands-on and demonstration mode. 

Equipment is available for the mechanical testing of materials, on-site diagnostic techniques for building materials problems and building surveys / inspections.
