Equipment

CIEMLAB, which is the infrastructure in which LIM-UPC carries out training, research and technology transfer based on experimentation with physical models at scale in the field of maritime and coastal engineering.

The main facilities are:

• Maritime Research and Experimentation Wave Flume (CIEM) which is a large-scale wave flume to study currents and waves.
• The small-scale wave flume (CIEMito).
• A 3D testing pool (LaBassa).
• Research dock.
• Instrumental park.
• Mechanical workshop.
• Electronic workshop.
• Machinery for the handling and movement of materials.
• Granulometric laboratory.

An important part of the current research carried out is covered by the European project Hydralab+, which allows access to the canal's facilities to external researchers.

LIM/UPC is part of MARHIS, Maritime Aggregated Research Hydraulic Infrastructures (ICTS), which is a research infrastructure of the Spanish Ministry of Economy & Competitiveness.
