Our facility is a gateway.
Our approach will help you verify the capabilities and performance of your new product ideas to help you get them to market in a fraction of the time it takes through the traditional approach.
You could cut the tension in the room with a knife…
...or a 40,000 pound actuator. By testing products to failure within an in-situ environment, we have found that what is expected to fail first doesn’t.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill testing facility. We can conduct anything from traditional, single-element testing, to full, in-situ system testing, and everything in between.
Need single-element testing? We can verify:
- Adhesive, nail, screw, staple, hanger and related fastener performance
- Joist, rafter, truss, header, beam, wall and related structural member performance
Want real world performance? With in-situ testing, we can verify:
- Fastener performance in the connection system
- Structural member performance when all the connections and load distribution elements are attached
- Diaphragm performance
- Flow of loads throughout the system
Choose your loading conditions:
- We can apply lateral, gravity and uplift loads
- Loads can be applied individually or simultaneously
- Loading pattern can be monotonic or cyclic
