Laboratories for Mining and Rock Engineering
Rock mechanical testing at the MCE laboratory
About half the activity at testlab is directly linked to research projects and education programs at the university. The rest of the activity is external jobs, done directly or indirectly for external companies.
MCE Lab can access a lot of flexible equipment making it possible to measure even very complicated components and odd material.
Part of The Mining and Civil Engineering Lab
Mining and Civil Engineering Lab is the largest laboratory at Luleå University of Technology and have a wide range of activities. Mostly we do:
- Mechanical testing on steel, wood and concrete
- Rockmechanical testing
- Geotechnical testing
- Outdoor measurements
- Analyses and enquiries
Virtual Reality Lab
VR-studio, which has two 4K projectors will be used by researchers and students in areas such as in construction, architecture, ore geology and mining and rock engineering.
In the studio, it is possible for example to create lifelike environments for urban planning and mining research. The VR studio will be rented by external actors for VR applications, workshops, meetings and presentations.
