The experimental facility for testing real-world infrastructure under controlled parameters, potentially at a reduced scale, includes a 1,000 m2 test platform, a 400 m3 water tank, 3 independent pumping circuits capable of controlling flow rate and pressure, a constant-head reservoir, 3 flumes (horizontal or with variable slope), and instruments for measuring flow rate, pressure, water level, velocity, etc.

The laboratory also includes test benches for pumps – including submersible pumps – and turbines. More precisely, it comprises a close-loop circuit equipped to accommodate dry or submersible pumps up to 300kW. Turbines test bench includes a 8 m constant head drop  for a flow rate of up to 100 l/s. Test benches include hydraulic and electromechanical measurement and control equipment.
