The Geotechnical group at the University is currently involved in a project with a focus on the mechanical behaviour of frozen ground. The most important part of the research is the theoretical component, but laboratory testing is always necessary. The Contracting Authority plans to purchase a frozen ground triaxial unit with a temperature controlling system. All parts of the equipment, including washer and electronic units must be able to function in negative temperatures.
