Company certification under SBF 1002 for gas extinguishing systems is a vital tool for ensuring quality and competence among companies that install such systems.

Flexible sealants and joint sealants play a crucial role in building and construction projects. They ensure that joints are tight, protect against moisture ingress and maintain the durability of the building over time. The consequences of using a joint sealant with the wrong properties can be enorm…

Optimized recipe for good fracture sealing in rock mass to ensure that environmental and maximal water ingress requirements are met.

For several decades, RISE concrete assessors have inspected garages and car parks because they usually receive concrete damages. Most often, the damages are caused by chlorides from thawing salt, which is taken in with the cars during winter time. The chlorides penetrate the concrete and eventually…

There are strong economic and environmental reasons to continue to use the existing DH networks in Europe in a reliable and cost-effective way as long as possible. At RISE we have now developed a novel fast, reliable and cost-effective field test method called “PipeOpsy™” – a biopsy for pipes.

DAS is a new technology for using fiber optic cable as a sensor to measure temperature and vibration, e.g., in bedrock or underwater. The technology transforms optical telecom fiber into a long series of fiber optic hydrophones capable with high spatial and temporal resolution along many kilometers…

Wood rotting fungi are efficient degraders of wood-based materials in access to moisture. This service assesses the occurrence and distribution of microbial rot in various materials.

Take advantage of experience of failures in your pipe system. Gain knowledge so that you do not repeat old mistakes and use bad design solutions. In addition, you need to know the status of your pipe system, so you can assess when different parts need to be replaced.

Within Pipe Centre a number of services are offered from testing, evaluation, support for certification and problem solving to research- and development related to material, products and their use in pipe systems.

During the biological treatment of organic material, digestion, and when upgrading biogas to vehicle fuel, emissions of methane gas to the atmosphere can occur. Since methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, it is of the utmost importance to reduce these methane emissions. Keywords: biogas, reducti…

RISE perform testing of road equipment, guide posts, sign posts and their materials

Road equipment includes products that are meant to help and protect you and other road users. There is a requirement that lighting columns, road restraint systems, signs, delineator posts and road traffic noise reducing devices are CE-marked in order for the road holder to be able to provide the ro…

Testing of natural stone, where the mechanical, physical and petrographic characteristics of the stone is determined.

Bresle kit and Breslepatches are available to purchase from RISE or from our retailers around the World.

As infrastructure projects grow in size, higher utilization of the rock material is required to keep building costs down while maintaining security. Dimensioning models and calculation, which can be used, for example in planning require detailed knowledge of rock mechanics and the propert…

Shut-off valves for district heating networks are tested for tightness, strength and opening and closing torque.

The National Laboratory for Length and Dimensional Metrology offers calibration of measuring wheels.

The National Laboratory for Length and Dimensional Metrology offers calibration of both artefacts and instrument. Some examples are stock squares, try squares, carpenter’s squares, squareness standards made of diabase or steel, universal protractors, protractors, digital protractors, water levels a…

The National Laboratory for Length and Dimensional Metrology offers calibration of measuring tapes, dipping tapes and PI tapes.

Petrographic analysis of aggregates for use in concrete, roads, and asphalt.

When choosing metallic materials for structures that will be exposed to an aggressive environment, it is important to take into account the corrosion resistance of the metals in the current environment so that the design gets the longest possible life at the lowest total cost.The total cost of cons…

Accredited tests for mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of aggregates and filler for road-, asphalt-, mortar- and concrete purposes according to EN 12620, EN 13043 and EN 13139. We also perform audit inspections in the above-mentioned areas with the Construction Products Regulation, CPR…

This is a method for air analysis where a rain-protected wet textile surface, with a known area, is exposed during a specified time. The amount of chloride deposited is determined by chemical analysis. From the results of this analysis the chloride deposition rate is calculated, expressed in m…

The Pipe Centre offers a variety of services that range from testing, evaluation and assistance with certification, to troubleshooting and R&D in materials, products and their use in pipe systems.
