    Brief

    Trinity College Dublin's Discipline of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering is seeking a qualified supplier to modernise an existing 400 kN servo-hydraulic Universal Testing Machine. The project involves replacing the obsolete servo-controller with a modern digital control system to extend the equipment's operational life and functionality. The upgraded system must perform both static and dynamic testing in compression and tension using force, displacement, and strain control modes. Required deliverables include: a PC workstation with dedicated control software, calibration of the existing load cell and LVDT (linear variable differential transformer), replacement of hydraulic hoses, and servicing or replacement of servo valves. Safety enhancements are mandatory and include an electronically controlled hydraulic isolation manifold, in-line pressure switch, and emergency stop system. The modernised apparatus must support data acquisition at speeds of at least 1000 Hz and comply with EN ISO 7500-1 calibration standards. This is an open national tender under the Open National Procedure. Interested suppliers should have expertise in servo-hydraulic testing systems, digital control systems, and compliance with relevant safety and calibration standards.
