FRACTORY

The Fractory is carrying out research programs on flood forecasting and catchment hydrology. We are developing an original numerical platform - River.lab - that efficiently solves the hydrodynamic equations under the shallow water hypothesis from the displacement of precipitons (rain particles). Using high-resolution Digital Elevation Models, the method predicts water heights, velocities and flows in natural conditions with excellent accuracy... Our story relies on a long-term collaboration on various research programs for several industries, including radioactive waste management. Today, our team of engineers, researchers, and students, develop new methodologies and numerical solutions to solve several environmental issues of which water management in crystalline rocks, flooding risks, erosion and sediment transport, restoration of natural aquatic environments. In addition to the consultancy and research activity, the Fractory is also invovled in teaching and expertise transfer.....
