STEM research as a service

The Amtliche Materialprüfanstalt (AMPA) of the University of Kassel is a certified test center according to the state building regulations for monitoring the installation of concrete of monitoring classes 2 and 3 (ÜK II / ÜK III). It offers external monitoring in accordance with DIN 1045-3:2012-03 "Structures made of concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete - Part 3: Construction".

The services of the Construction Informatics department consist of relational and object-oriented databases, document management, workflow management and cooperation in engineering projects in networked environments.
cooperation in engineering projects in networked environments.

An annual laboratory training course for sewage treatment plant personnel is offered externally in coordination with the DWA. For private and public clients, individual issues can be dealt with using a comprehensive range of equipment. Analyses of drinking water, water, wastewater and sludge samples are carried out according to standardized procedures.

The Department of Resource Management and Waste Technology has a comprehensive range of measuring devices and systems for operational and laboratory measurements, which can also be made available for external services.

The Department of Surveying at the Institute of Transportation develops geometry-oriented spatial information. We are a scientific service provider for many areas within the university as well as for external clients.

Our services consist of advice and the preparation of expert opinions on construction contract remuneration issues, service changes and contract and execution models. We also provide advice on project organization and management tools for the execution of turnkey construction projects.

As a service provider for public and private clients, the Geotechnical Engineering department carries out soil and rock mechanical laboratory tests, field tests, model tests and numerical simulations.

The existing good laboratory infrastructure enables the Department of Solid Construction to act as a competent service provider for questions relating to masonry, concrete, reinforced concrete, steel fiber concrete, prestressed concrete or even combinations of these materials.

The Department of Transport Planning and Systems has developed IT-supported tools as part of research projects and made them available to interested users free of charge.

As a state testing body in accordance with the EKVO Hessen, we are responsible for carrying out tests on flow meters at sewage treatment plants and on throttle systems at stormwater overflow basins for plant operators subject to mandatory testing. We are constantly developing our test methods on a scientific basis.

The IKI's central laboratory is available to all members of the institute for work in the field of materials research and testing as well as component testing. The facilities can also be used for teaching students. In addition, internal and external clients can benefit from the facilities of the central laboratory.
