Hawkins Projects Ltd proudly collaborated with British Cycling to relocate a wind tunnel, originally constructed and installed by Hawkins from its current site to Manchester.
During this process, Hawkins Projects created a new test section and carried out some steel and timber alterations to improve the performance of the diffuser collector and fan. Working closely with British Cycling, we facilitated technical improvements, always keeping them updated and ensuring the move was smooth and without error.
This wind tunnel is playing a vital role in supporting preparations for the upcoming Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games in July 2024, as well as LA 2028 and beyond.
The University of Manchester also utilises the wind tunnel to support wider research and innovation aspirations across the region, with four PhD research projects already underway.
Hawkins is proud to play a small part in our bid for British success in the next Olympics!
