The Centre for Infrastructure Management can test a wide range of materials and products. A brief of each test we perform is given below.

At the Centre for Infrastructure Management, we can monitor and evaluate the in-service performance of buildings incorporating new energy efficient technologies such as photo-voltaic, solar thermal hot water and ground source heat pumps.

We specialise in optimising energy usage in domestic, industrial and commercial buildings, both newly built and retrofitting

Aflowan asked us to undertake a feasibility assessment for a new product that it wanted to create in order to meet an emerging specific need.

We conducted an accelerated weathering test to deduce the durability of a fabric material when exposed to extreme temperatures.

The Auxetic Materials Research Group undertakes world-leading research and consultancy into materials and structures possessing negative Poisson's ratio response.

This project is being undertaken in collaboration with the University of Bristol and Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux for ENSEIRB-MATMECA to develop a new concept of a 'mechanical metamaterial' combining two unusual properties: negative Poisson's ratio (NPR - the material becomes fatter when pulled) and negative stiffness (NS - the material becomes shorter when pulled).

Cable Safe approached us via the Sheffield Innovation Programme (SIP) with a request to determine the stability and strength characteristics of a new outdoor safety system that it was developing for a client, as well as to conduct detailed analysis on an existing system.

Sarah approached the Materials and Engineering Research Institute here at Sheffield Hallam University because she was experiencing less than optimal results with the glaze that she was using in her ceramic work.

Integrated Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Research Group is a multi-disciplinary research team with expertise to address different research facets.
