Street furniture and concrete made of a wind turbine blade? A second life to used materials
Playground equipment, bicycle shelters, aggregate for construction - an interdepartmental research team from Gdansk University of Technology is looking for ways to recycle end-of-life wind turbine blades as energy-efficiently as possible. The researchers hope that the solutions developed will not only help to protect the environment, but also increase the availability of building materials.
Research team from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture, managed by Prof. Magdalena Rucka, is working on a wind turbine blade recycling system allowing to reuse them in construction industry and architecture.
A unique inspection vehicle to help researchers develop road maintenance strategies
Gdańsk University of Technology acquired an inspection vehicle equipped with a laser system that enables advanced measurements of the road, motorway and airport pavement condition. It is a unique piece of equipment at Polish universities. The new research tool is to help develop guidelines for road administrators, in order to reduce repairs and related traffic disruptions.
– Over 5 000 national roads and motorways have been commissioned in Poland over the past several years. Effective maintenance and management of this constantly expanding road network requires appropriate diagnostics and assessment of the technical condition of their surface.
