1. Excursion Visit to Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee

A Technical Field Visit – IAHS 2025 Scientific Assembly

As part of the IAHS 2025 Scientific Assembly, participants are invited to join an exclusive technical excursion to the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee—a national leader in building science and technology since 1947.

This visit will provide a first-hand look into cutting-edge research, testing infrastructure, and innovative technologies developed at CBRI. A visit will be made to the following laboratories:

• Advanced Concrete, Steel & Composites (ACSC)
• Architecture Planning & Energy Efficiency (APEE)
• Building Materials & Environmental Sustainability (BMES)
• Construction Automation & Robotics (CAR)
• Fire Safety Engineering (FSE)
• Geotechnical Engineering & Geohazards (GEGH)
• Heritage & Special Structures (HSS)
• Structural Engineering (SE).

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with CBRI scientists and researchers, view live demonstrations, and gain insights into the institute’s role in advancing disaster-resilient and sustainable construction technologies in India.

• Date of Visit: 9th October 2025
• Time: 03:00 PM – 05:30 PM
• Venue: Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee, India
• Participant Limit: 20 (Maximum)

If demand exceeds capacity, an additional visit will be held on 10th October 2025 at the same time.

This is a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of hydrology, structural engineering, and sustainability, directly from one of India’s premier research institutions.

This technical visit is open to all registered IAHS 2025 participants. Due to limited capacity, early registration is strongly recommended.
