Information for Business & Industry
EngTest was established by the School of Civil, Environmental & Mining
Engineering at The University of Adelaide to conduct commercial testing, consulting
and contract research. EngTest does not seek to compete with private organisations
that are already providing adequate services, but seeks to assist public and private
organisations by providing expert consultants and access to equipment and facilities
that they may normally not have available.

The research carried out by this research group is innovative and covers areas
of sustainable water resources and infrastructure modelling and management ranging
from hydrology to hydraulics, open channels to pipelines, hidden Markov models
to Artificial Neural Networks and the modelling and management of water supply
infrastructure to that of natural water resources.
The research carried out by the Structures Research Group is mainly focussed
on the use of composite materials for structural retrofit of existing and the
design of new structures to resist blast, wind and earthquake loading, as well
as higher dead and live loads.
The research conducted by this group at the University of Adelaide falls broadly
into two categories - the use of Geostatistical Methods for applications in
Mining Engineering and Foundation Design and the use of Geomechanics to solve
problems across the full spectrum from hard rock to soft soil sites.
