I’m currently working at the TREVI Foundations Geotechnical Research Laboratory in FUTA, Akure, Ondo state, were i have been charged with the responsibility of ensuring that the triaxial testing equipments are brought to full functioning capacity.
Its was a pleasant news to know that the equipment is currently the only one in west Africa and there are just two of them in Africa. you cannot get things better than this, and I must tell you I am currently doing my best to ensure that it is working to full capacity.
It is full digitized with transducers on every equipment, that mean no reading off of dial gauges and the likes, also the system is semi-automated so you could start tests and all you need to do at the same time.
Nigerian geotechnics is getting better and i know it…
Yours in Geotech,
Mike
