Efficient and sustainable use of our natural resources







Division of Architecture and waterArchitecture and Water (AWA) cover the research subjects Architecture, Sanitary Engineering, Traffic Engineering and Water Resources Engineering - Renewable Energy. Sanitary Engineering is focused on water supply and sewerage systemswith sustainability and the wise use of resources as focal points.Renewable energy includes systems for renewable energy andincreased use of renewable energy. The number of employees is 40.



Division of Structural and Construction EngineeringStructural Engineering, Steel Structures, Timber Structures and Construction Engineering. Here we gather all of the institutions building process competencesfrom building, planning and design to construction.

The number of employees is about 80 incl. Comp Lab.



Division of Operation, Maintenance and AcousticsOperation and Maintenance Engineering graduate of availability, reliability and dependability with a view to increasing productivity. Acoustics research on vibration and noise that affect people with the aim to provide products and buildings that produce an attractive and harmless sound.

The number of employees is 40.



Division of Mining and Geotechnical EngineeringRock Mechanics and Rock Engineering is in charge of all education and research concerning rock mechanics, rock and mining engineering and rock aggregates.Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering are in charge of all education and research concerning Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering.

The number of employees is approximately 55



Division of Geosciences and Environmental EngineeringResearch and education about how ores and other mineral resources are formed, how to find them and how to handle mining waste in a sustainable way. Waterand environmental issues as well as sustainable management of waste andresidue flows within communities are also important areas of theDivision of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering.

The number of employees is approximately 55
