Designed to serve business needs!

We offer a comprehensive range of services in a customer-oriented and flexible manner.

Testing service for full-scale wall elements, beams, joints and lattice structures.

Equipment showcase

LoadFrame (large-scale test frame)

  • Testing area (T-slot) 5 m x 15 m. Load Frame dimensions: width 2.5 m, height 3.5 m. Full-scale wall elements, beams, joints and lattice structures can be tested.
  • Possible tests for Load Frame are static or dynamic loads: 2 x max 500 kN load from above up to 2 Hz (compression or tension) and 1 x max 500 kN from side. Static loads include tension, compression and shear loads. Dynamic loading can be used for simulations, such as vibration in structures.
  • The equipment enables an almost unlimited number of different wooden and hybrid structures to be tested on an industrial scale and close to actual building component assemblies.
  • Wall tests (shear)
  • Wall tests (compression, tension)
  • Tile and floor tests
