Wind Tunnel Testing

BMT operates major wind tunnel facilities including a large Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel and a Low-Speed Aeronautical Wind Tunnel.

BMT operates a number of large wind tunnel facilities, supported to specialist state-of-the art instrumentation and data acquisition systems.

These facilities are required for physical modelling-based external wind effect analysis for complex large scale Civil Structures, including tall and super-tall buildings, large span roof structures and sports stadia, long span bridges, special structures and airports.

Specialist consultancy services supplied to minimise design risk and support design optimisation amongst others include site specific wind climate assessment, dynamic response and loading analysis, wind microclimate assessment including Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), façade loading and wind induced noise investigations.
