Industrial Wood Construction and Technical Testing Laboratory

By utilising our world-class expertise and tooling, life-size structures can be developed and tested.

Designed to serve business needs!

Pilot and Industrial Scale Testing

Technical performance can be determined for the entity instead of the components, thus making it possible to optimise the use of materials and improve the efficiency of construction.

The accelerated weathering test performed on the experimental structure tests and develops the structure’s physical properties.

We serve businesses through service sales, development projects and student cooperation.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

The Industrial Wood Construction Laboratory enables the development and testing of large structures on a real scale. We research, test and develop large-scale wooden structures and wooden elements and new solutions for construction joints. We improve the standardisation of wood construction products, guidelines and the cost-effectiveness of construction.

The laboratory can test full-scale wall elements, beams, joints and lattice structures. Our equipment enables an almost unlimited number of different wooden and hybrid structures to be tested on an industrial scale.

One of the laboratory’s specialties is two weathering test chambers: one can create outdoor conditions and the other indoor conditions.

Structural testing can load structures by pulling, compressing and tension. Dynamic loading can be used to simulate, for example, vibration in structures.

We want to offer all companies the opportunity to visit the laboratory without hurry and discuss possible cooperation. Book a private tour for your company!

We constantly collect development needs and ideas from our stakeholders. We help in the development efforts of ideas, and we are looking for funding to implement projects. We make bold and proactive project openings that meet the needs of growth-oriented companies, the public sector and the region in the long term, and we aim for concrete results that will be used by the companies in the region. We always create something new and useful: we find solutions and develop good ideas into practice. Contact us and tell about your project idea!
