The Structural Engineering Platform (GIS) presents a new dynamic testing machine with unequaled capabilities. 

The GIS is proud to present its new dynamic testing machine. It has a capacity of 1500kN at a maximum speed of 2m/s. Specimens can reach a total length of 1.8m. Thanks to its performance, it will enable concrete specimens to be tested at forces and speeds never before achieved. The machine will be commissioned in January 2025.
