A fully instrumented 800 tonnes laboratory press, equipped with advanced tools for extrusion and forging, together with our skilled research staff, constitutes the backbone of our forming activity.

In our foundry and recycling laboratory we work with casting, recycling and melt treatment of metals such as aluminium, iron, steel, titanium, magnesium and copper-based alloys.

In the Frost laboratory we test solutions for water and frost protection of tunnels.

The experimental field at Høvringen outside Trondheim has a meteorological measuring station that measures temperature, wind, and precipitation and an advanced system for measuring the amount of water flowing into the drains.

The bolt rig gives us the opportunity to define bolt capacity in different situations, and also to examine the function of bolts.
