Opus Central Laboratories provides an independent research-based wind engineering, industrial aerodynamics service.  We provide practical solutions to unusual aerodynamic problems principally for the construction and transport industries where safe and economic design are called for.

Our facilities include a long boundary layer wind tunnel.  We have an extensive reference library, computer controlled data acquisition systems, and a comprehensive range of instrumentation, all of which contribute to high experimental efficiency.

New and improved methods are continually introduced, thus ensuring an aerodynamics consultancy service that is both cost effective and internationally competitive.

Our staff have carried out a large number of aerodynamic investigations.  These have ranged from full engineering studies on landmark structures, such as the Majestic Centre in Wellington, to pioneering the use of advanced aerodynamics techniques in structural and vehicle design.

Wind engineering and industrial aerodynamic related services include a variety of consultancy services, including wind tunnel and on-site studies.
