Our equipment
Our equipment is divided into four different topics:
- Geothermal-Lab: Includes everything that has to do with near-surface geothermal energy.
- Soil-Lab: Measuring instruments for unconsolidated rocks.
- Fracture-Lab: Measuring instruments for solid rocks.
- Simulation-Lab: Hardware and software for the simulation of physical processes.
