Our Teaching and Research Laboratory
The Institute of Civil Engineering’s Road Construction Laboratory is a state-of-the-art teaching and research facility. Covering an area of over 200 m², it allows you to learn about all relevant suitability and control tests for aggregate gradations, the binder bitumen, and asphalt mixtures. Our range of services extends from sieve analysis to high-performance tests on bitumen—thanks to our state-of-the-art performance tester! We can offer you the full spectrum of code-compliant testing services. For external clients, we are an attractive research partner.
You can find a brief glimpse into our motivation, our laboratory equipment, and how we use it in our teaching here.
