LNEC welcomed first year Civil Engineering students from Nova FCT on a visit dedicated to direct contact with different areas of research and testing.

The visit began with a brief presentation of LNEC and the screening of the institutional film, allowing students to learn about the mission, scientific expertise, multidisciplinary nature and impact of the work carried out at LNEC.

This was followed by a technical tour of the Hydraulics and Environment Department, including visits to the Ports and Maritime Structures Unit, where visitors were able to observe projects and methodologies applied to coastal protection and the behaviour of maritime infrastructure.

The group also visited the Buildings Department, namely Construction Behaviour and Technology Unit, deepening their knowledge of material performance and nowadays construction solutions.

The visit ended in the Structures Department, with a visit to the Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics Unit, including the Triaxial seismic platform.
