Recap Excursion Peutz Laboratory

Thursday the 23th of March Mollier is invited at Peutz to visit their laboratories in Molenhoek near the German border. After a train ride of one and a half hour, the group of 15 people found itself at an abandoned train station in the middle of nowhere. A 5 minutes’ walk from Peutz’ experimental area. At arrival a luxurious tea table was waiting for the participants, which was arranged very well. The afternoon started with a short introduction of the director, Casper Esmeijer, and three additional presentations about Peutz, the laboratory and work within the company. The first presentation was given by Albert Alders. The presentation took us along the many projects within the different disciplines, Peutz is invested in. The last two presentations were about working within the company. One of these presentations was given by an alumnus of Mollier, Manon Derks. Which was interested because of her insight in Peutz and the link with our master.

After the presentations we had a small break, which was followed by the visitation of the laboratories. We visited two climate chambers, three interconnected rooms for acoustical measurements, an anechoic chamber, the model room with different scale models for acoustical measurements, the pyrotechnic oven, the fire safety laboratory and the wind tunnel.

We want to thank Vera van der Berg for this interesting opportunity, to get insight in the company and facilities. We also want to thank everybody who presented and took us on the tour through the facilities. We had a great afternoon!
