SINTEF develops sustainable solutions for buildings, infrastructure and other facilities in Arctic areas SINTEF combines Arctic field experience and interdisciplinary expertise in areas such as...
...3D printing has been in use in the construction industry for years, mainly to create architectural models and prototypes of buildings. However, we will soon see more technology on the...
SINTEF has an important role in the development of concepts for offshore wind turbines. Since 2005, when the first model of Hywind Demo was tested in SINTEF Ocean's Ocean Basin, we have had...
Better understanding of storage capacity, injectivity and long-term effects of the stored CO2 is a must for establishing commercial storage operations. We investigate the mechanical and physical...
Sand production may create serious operational problems such as well loss and erosion of pipelines and process facilities, as well as environmental and safety problems. A common solution is to...
According to the Norwegian National Transport Plan 2014–2023, all expected growth in urban passenger traffic is projected to increase through use of public transportation, enhanced opportunities...
The connection of offshore wind farms to the grid is an important research field because while the process is currently responsible for a large proportion of costs, the potential for cost...
SINTEF performs building damage assessments of all types of buildings, from small residential buildings to complex industrial and commercial buildings. The damage assessments end in a...
Wood is probably our oldest building material, and is one of the primary building materials in Norway to this day. We also see an increased use of wood elements and structures in large-scale...
Installations for waterborne heating have been used in both commercial buildings and residences for many years. These installations provide flexibility when choosing energy source and...
Energy efficiency and increased heating comfort has resulted in modern buildings being more airtight than previous building constructions. Airtight buildings have reduced uncontrolled...
We have extensive experience in line management and management of Lean processes. Our strength is that we adapt Lean work within companies to the current situation and degree of Lean-maturity. All...
Making buildings more energy efficient is an important tool when working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We need to build more energy-efficient buildings, but the building stock is replaced...
This group’s expertise is concentrated on hydrodynamic loads on floating structures, and focuses on mooring systems, dynamic positioning (DP) and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). We analyse wave...
Integral system analysis is a robust tool for evaluating the feasibility of technologies and their integration in value-chains under industrial environments. Integral system analysis can be...
We have extensive experience in developing detailed heat exchanger models for various industrial purposes. The models have a level of detail that is suitable for linking and use with various...
SINTEF has extensive and versatile competence in development of heat pump technology. Through close cooperation with NTNU, engineer and researcher education is integrated in our larger, long term...
A constant equilibrium between power generation and consumption is needed to balance any electric system. Without an equilibrium the result will be frequency deviations and possibly system...
Industry and society are growing increasingly vulnerable. Failure in technical systems can cause serious problems to companies, or lead to disruptions to critical societal functions. Prevention...
Work is the basis of production and wealth creation in all societies and is a fundamental arena of human expression. Most people have a basic desire to work. A significant part of our identity is...
