Hydraulic accumulator bank

⁠⁠⁠University of Canterbury is planning to purchase a hydraulic accumulator bank and other ancillary parts.

UC is building dynamic testing and earthquake simulation system. This is the second stage of the project. This powerful universal testing machine is the first facility for large-scale dynamic testing of structural and non-structural components in the Southern Hemisphere. UC aspires to be a national and international leader in earthquake engineering. That aspiration cannot be realized without state-of-the-art equipment to perform physical dynamic simulations. The opportunity to lead is clear: there is no facility in NZ or Australia that can produce dynamic earthquake simulations as proposed.
