Drum Centrifuge

Established by Prof. Sarah Springman in 1999, the geotechnical drum centrifuge facility consists of a preparation laboratory, the centrifuge pit, and a control room, from which the technician, the project engineer and the proof engineer supervise the progress of the test (external page Springman et al. 2001). These three roles are based on the security guidelines at Cambridge University (Schofield, 1980) to ensure safe operation of the facility.
