The NRC is committed to supporting our clients and collaborators with testing and technical services based on our unique research expertise and infrastructure. The NRC is equally committed to acting diligently to avoid knowingly engaging in routine testing services that may be delivered through Canadian private-sector laboratories offering such services. The NRC will endeavour to refer clients to Canadian private-sector labs when appropriate and will explore opportunities to license/transfer testing methodologies to Canadian private-sector service providers as circumstances warrant.

Research Centre: Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering
NRC has been involved in several field studies measuring ice properties and ice forces on offshore structures. Past research included extensive projects dealing with the Beaufort Sea. Recent work has included investigations into decaying sea ice, ship routing through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, monitoring ice loads on the Confederation Bridge and using ship motions to determine ice-induced global loads.

Research Centre: Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering
NRC has developed sophisticated numerical models that accurately predict ice loads and ice failure behaviour for both level ice and ice rubble. One such model uses an implicit particle-in-cell (iPIC) approach in which an assembly of discrete particles represents the ice cover. The program output includes grounding locations, force data, pressure, thickness and concentration contour data. The model has been used to examine ice interacting with rubblemound berms, narrow and wide bridge piers, ice pile-up scenarios, and ice flow with respect to safe evacuation from structures
