CYCLONE TESTING STATION KEY AREAS OF RESEARCH

The Cyclone Testing Station conducts wind engineering research into the performance of houses and other buildings in response to cyclones and other severe wind events. The knowledge gained is used to improve building regulations and standards to ensure that buildings are safe.

In addition to applied research and material testing activities, the CTS undertakes a wide range of consulting projects across the insurance legal and construction industries.

Providing a calibrated structural engineering bases for vulnerability modelling has resulted in a growing number of consulting opportunities over recent years with assignments in the risk industry both within Australia and internationally.
