The University of Miskolc has a robust tradition in the fields of engineering geology, soil mechanics, and geotechnics, focusing on the study and research of the physical and mechanical effects of the built environment on soil. The Soil and Rock Testing Laboratory aims to engage with various segments of the construction industry through collaboration with industrial partners. In Hungary, geotechnical preparation and inspection activities are crucial, particularly in sectors such as the construction of motorways, roads, railway tracks, stadiums, and the revision and construction of flood reservoirs and dam systems.
