The NRC Canadian Hydraulics Centre (NRC-CHC) is Canada’s largest hydraulics and coastal engineering laboratory. It operates on a cost-recovery basis, providing physical and numerical modelling and analysis services in the general field of hydraulics to Canadian and international engineering communities.
NRC-CHC specializes in coastal engineering, environmental hydraulics and cold-regions technology. NRC-CHC facilities available to industry include: three large wave basins, two wave flumes, a cold room, an ice basin, a high discharge flume and a weigh tank, used for physical model studies of: breakwaters, harbours, ship mooring, beach and shoreline protection, fixed and floating marine structures, scour and deposition of sediments, ice forces on structures, river and estuary hydraulics, and calibration of flow meters, orifice plates and hydraulic turbines.
