GDS and the University of Melbourne have worked together for a number of years, over this time they have accumulated 13 GDS systems. This year, Dan Zanet visited the University to install a further 4 systems to their Geotechnical Soil and Water Laboratory.

Earlier this year GDS got a chance to visit the brand new Geowynd Laboratory in Southampton.

GDS' Quality Manager, Diogo Teles, completed the successful installation and training of a Dynamic Triaxial Testing System (DYNTTS) with a Bender Element System upgrade, at the University of Sharjah.

Alexis Antoniou, a Geotechnical Systems Engineer here at GDS Instruments (GDS), recently installed an Advanced Dynamic Triaxial Testing System (DYNTTS) at the University of Melbourne, within their Department of Infrastructure Engineering. 

As global concerns increase about the pace of energy transition in accounting for long-term climate risks, the shift from fossil-based energy production to renewable sources, like wind, has been accelerated. Within Taiwan, the national offshore wind allocation plan has set a target of increasing local production to 20GW by 2035.

In 2017 a delegation from the University of Split visited GDS’s offices in the UK, whilst considering apparatus for their research project on the behaviour of soft rocks and soil.

Karl Snelling, Managing Director at GDS, was honoured to be invited to the formal opening of the National Buried Infrastructure Facility (NBIF) at the University of Birmingham.

In February 2019, GDS completed the installation of a Large Diameter Cyclic Triaxial Testing System at the University of South Carolina. The system was purchased to expand the laboratory capability to tests ballast samples with diameter of 150mm and 300mm.

GDS’s Dynamic Pressure Controller (SIG3) is a dynamic pump for the precise & rapid regulation and measurement of fluid pressure and volume change.

Its great to see some GDS apparatus feature in KCB recent post on the history of their geotechnical laboratories.
