UNOTT

The Nottingham Transportation Engineering Centre (NTEC) comprises 10 academic staff, 13 laboratory staff, 3 clerical staff and ~50 researchers. Their three-storey laboratory provides globally leading technical facilities for testing bound & unbound pavement materials and other rail track research activities. NTEC also houses the Centre for Risk and Reliability Engineering with expertise in developing modelling techniques to improve the design and operation of engineering systems to reduce the frequency and consequences of failure.
