All Disaster Management Program students were taken on a tour together with the students at the Building Research Institute. First the governmental testing sites were covered. We saw a demonstration of modelling a sand levee breach and we went to the only governmental testing location for the calibration of water speed measuring devices.
After this we visited the Building Research Institute itself, where many earthquake measuring devices were manufactured and tested. Additionally there were testing sites for buildings themselves, such as pressure and pulling devices and tremor plates. We visited the highest testing building in the world, for structures of up to 25 meters in height.
