Hydrodynamics Laboratory and Wave Flume
ACRI-IN has a hydrodynamics laboratory equipped with a wave flume. This
allows us to complete test programs on physical models, as part of our
primary marine and port engineering, for structure sizing studies (rubble
mound breakwaters, wave absorbing quays, etc.), as well as for more specific
R&D efforts.
We also complete studies as a subcontractor to competing companies, as such
equipment is rare among specialized engineering companies in our field.
