The Southern Hemisphere's only specialist wind testing facility for facades
Our wind tunnel has an open jet, high power, short tunnel
configuration. It's specifically designed to test 1:1 scale
building facade elements for structural integrity and
wind noise.
Able to generate flow velocities over 50m/s, our wind
tunnel is designed to fit large 1:1 scale models over its 3m
diameter turntable.
With full variable speed control over the 4 centrifugal
fans, maximum control of wind speeds allow for low-
speed aero-acoustic testing as well as high-speed
structural tests.
