Based on the kind of expertise and laboratories BRC has, the demand of the productive sector to enter new construction entrepreneurial activities can be satisfied. For this purpose, BRC offers to plan, advise, coordinate, and carry out Research and Development projects, testing, analysis, design, construction supervision, training, and calibration activities.
Specifically, BRC labs have acquired competence in testing cement, concrete, building components, insulation materials, ceramics, raw materials, soils and rocks, asphalt, and construction chemicals.
These labs enjoy high reputation for being granted, or considered to be granted international and local accreditation. The use of advanced building materials, such as silica-based products, fiber-reinforced plastics and other composites, can be investigated for future use in the construction industry.
Specialized consulting services can also benefit a wide sector in the construction industry concerned with civil, architectural, and electro-mechanical works. Many examples exist of studies and investigations performed to assess the durability and structural behavior of building materials and systems, upgrade and retrofit existing structures, evaluate and preserve urban fabric, develop schemes to mitigate natural disasters risk, and develop new residential and industrial sites.
