Metro’s engineering staff enjoys exploring. We have a long history of probing and inventing. We have been involved in numerous privately and publicly funded research and development projects, covering a wide field of topics, like:
- Procedures and Materials for soil and road-base stabilization
- Properties of recycled concrete as structural fill, and methods of density testing for recycled concrete fill
- Scaling of test specimens; effect of test specimen shapes and method of forming or extraction on the test results
- Alternative methods for rapid determination of concrete compressive strength
- Concrete admixture optimisation
- Optimisation of fibre concrete and shotcrete composition
- Contactless vibrometry for determination of structural health and flaw detection
- Conditioning of concrete compression test cylinder contact faces by end-grinding
- Surface wave spectrum analysis to evaluate pavement and sub-base conditions
