Research

The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the Lublin University of Technology is actively involved in the development of the Lublin region through cooperation with producers, distributors and other institutions of the region. The help we can offer you is knowledge, experience and scientific and technical background to solve problems in the field of construction, road engineering, geodesy, conservation of monuments, architecture and many others.

Thanks to specialist scientific staff with appropriate qualifications, we offer expert opinions, technical opinions, designs and construction advice. We have a wide range of modern equipment, e.g. an optical system for measuring deformations and displacements, equipment for fatigue testing and many others.

Thanks to the "Development of Eastern Poland" project, the laboratory base has become one of the most modern in the country and Europe.

We cordially invite you to cooperation.
