The University of Canterbury is seeking an electromechanical universal testing machine.
This project is to enhance its unique, state-of-the-art research and teaching capabilities that support the Wood Technology Lab in the School of Forestry (SoF).
The objective of the project is to support and enhance the wood processing industry. New Zealand needs skilled workers with the right qualifications. Workforce and skills shortages have been identified as an important issue for the sector. The industry is facing difficulty in attracting qualified staff and has low rates of research and innovation. There is currently no domestic tertiary qualification for domestic wood processing. Currently, the school has teaching capacity and capability, but the scope of the courses is limited due to the lack of equipment to create and test the mechanical or structural properties of wood products at the SoF.
This tender has been awarded.
