About CTPE Lab

Welcome to Construction Technology Laboratory's Website. As part of NTU's College of Engineering, we aspire to nurture the future civil engineers for Singapore. Please feel free to browse through our website for more information regarding what we do and the facilities that we have. Should you require further information, please feel free to drop the webmaster an e-mail. We hope that you have an informative visit.

The Construction Technology Laboratory is located at Basement 5 of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. It consist of a 24m x 24m strong floor, a construction annex which houses a 250 sq metre strong floor and a material testing room. It is supported by 1 Senior faculty member with years of practical industry experiences and 6 numbers of Laboratory Executives with an average of 20 years experience in Laboratory works.

The Laboratory supports the School’s teaching and research needs. It is equipped to conduct a full range of tests on construction materials as well as full scaled building component test. Occupying a space of 60m x 24m floor space with a 10m headroom, the laboratory is enhanced with a 10 tonne overhead crane for moving and mobilizing large specimens for testing. The main test area occupies a 24m x 24m floor space with a 1.3m thick “strong floor"of cellular construction with a walk-in basement. The working basement facilitates convenient load application and the installation of floor anchors. Loading frames can be easily positioned and erected for testing full-scale structures up to two storey high.

This laboratory consists of three units, namely the Destructive & Non-Destructive testing Unit, the Materials Testing Unit and the Workshop.

Established in late 2003, the Protective Engineering Laboratory is located at block N1.1, level B5. The laboratory carries out activities ranging from conducting research projects, teaching laboratory experiments for common engineering subjects, guiding students with final year projects to events such as consultancy projects and forums.
