KUCHING – Swinburne University of Technology Research and UNIMAS visited Australia’s National Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility at the University of Western Australia.
Swinburne is scheduled to get the same geotechnical centrifuge, and the team was there to discuss issues around the commissioning and construction of such a sophisticated machine. The National Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility will continue to advise Swinburne on building specifications, safety requirements and at a later stage explore setting up research partnerships.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dominic Ong, “The study-trip opened up so many possibilities, especially how a centrifuge facility can be managed efficiently with 50 research projects going on at the same time and how it can go onto become financially sustainable.”
