...analyses and damage assessments of various concrete structures, primarily as research projects or as specialist consultants in complex issues (often in collaboration with the consulting engineer the client has engaged). Our assignments cover all aspects of durability, maintenance, repair, and assessments...
...terrain and building-induced wind and turbulence forecasting in complex terrain SINTEF in cooperation with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute has developed a microscale turbulence alert system that is now operational for 20 airports and give a real-time prediction of turbulence intensity and wind conditions...
...architectures for efficient storage, manipulation, and analysis. (According to N. B. D. W. Group, Nist big data de nitions and taxonomies (August 2013)). Transport, be it goods or people, generates a lot of data. This data can be used to identify traffic patterns and based on that suggest "smarter" use of transport...
We can test and document all sub-materials for concrete, as well as concrete products and concrete of different origins. Together with our partners, we perform testing according to the most relevant standards (mainly EN standards). Typical assignments include Determine concrete quality, cause of damage...
Biological and biotechnological systems are often very complex, containing a large number (hundreds to thousands) of distinct chemical compounds. The use of mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to chromatographic separation (GC, LC, IC, FFF) allows for sensitive and robust quantification (ng/ml and below) of...
SINTEF develops inorganic membranes for use in separation, liquid handling and chemical reactors. The membrane properties are optimized by advanced modelling, and by controlling the material composition and geometric structure....
...associated with the separation of CO2 from large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants, steel works and similar. Modelling tools can be used for plant design process optimization and system improvement. SINTEF has developed a simulation software package, CO2SIM, for simulation of absorption...
SINTEF offers overall knowledge and laboratories for the production of inorganic powder materials for various applications. bilde1 Our services: Our knowledge about preparation of inorganic materials, mainly oxides, is used in projects where one wish to study new or established materials for particular...
Cultivation of macroalgae is an emerging industry in Norway and the rest of Europe. New consumer trends, market demands and opportunities for multiple uses of macroalgae such as food, bioactive components, feed, fertilisers and biofuels has strengthened the motivation for a sustainable macroalgae cultivation...
...range of field surveys and measurements for buildings and structures. What is technical construction advise? Condensation and moisture control in construction parts Geosciences, in the form of ground investigations and rock mechanical field measurements Indoor climate, ventilation, and energy technology Measurement...
Which road and transport projects are profitable to build? SINTEF develops methodology and calculation tools on behalf of Norwegian transport companies such as Statens vegvesen, Nye Veier, Jernbanedirektoratet, Bane NOR, Kystverket and Avinor. The tools SINTEF develops consists of: TransportNettExtension...
Combining machine learning and analytical models may yield the best of both worlds. Machine learning models are flexible and powerful, but they often function as black boxes with high data requirements, and they do not provide insight into the underlying physical or data-generating phenomena. On the...
...ship resistance, propulsion and hull design. Assistance is provided through research, numerical analysis, model- and full-scale verification as well as design assistance. Highly skilled researchers use advanced laboratories and numerical tools to provide best quality and independent services to our clients...
...interaction between fishing gear and the installation itself. A typical example is the over-trawling of anchor lines. SINTEF has the expertise to analyse such interactions, using both simulations and model experiments. In this way, one can assess both the risk of undesirable events and any measures to reduce such...
Knowledge and methods for reducing risk are a key research topic at SINTEF. Safety and risk management in the aquaculture industry involve human, technical and organisational factors that characterise different production systems on land, along the coast and at sea. Regulation and regulatory requirements...
...experience with various AM process categories, and associated machines ("3D printers"). SINTEF has machines for R&D purposes and some industrial machines. SINTEF has practical experience with the most common additive manufacturing (AM) processes for metals and plastics. SINTEF, often in partnership with...
The management of water and energy resources is practised by public authorities at municipal, regional and national levels. In special cases, clarification may be required in addition to what is usually needed in more normal management processes. There may be a need for the assistance of experts with...
...laboratory, and primarily addresses issues related to load current interruption. We combine our experimental research with use of simulation tools within fluid dynamics, electrostatic field theory, black box arc modelling and circuit analysis. Our services: SINTEF performs short circuit and high current...
...economic viability of wave energy. Large-scale utilisation of wave farms and their connection to grids share many challenges with other variable renewable energy systems, e.g. distance to the mainland (as with offshore wind farms) and power variability. However, some challenges are specifically related to...
