Laboratory Technical Assistant 2 - Civil Technology

Powertech's specialized lab is equipped with advanced equipment to evaluate filter performance in embankment dams across a wide range of soil types, from fine-grained materials to coarse particles.

Core Services

• Testing of Fill Materials for Embankment Dams: Internal erosion represents a significant risk to embankment dams and accounts for nearly half of all dam safety incidents. Due to challenges with assessing internal erosion in‑situ and the lack of availability of numerical models, non‑standardized laboratory tests and empirical methods are primarily relied on. Powertech has developed advanced test equipment to evaluate filter performance in embankment dams across a wide range of soil types, from fine‑grained materials to coarse particles up to 125 mm.

Soil Thermal Resistivity Testing

A crucial part of designing cable systems and thermal storage facilities is estimating the thermal behavior of the soil. Powertech provides fiel...
