Engineering for research & education · since 1997
For more than two decades we have designed and built one-of-a-kind wind tunnels, physical hydraulic models, heat-transfer laboratories and custom experimental apparatus for universities and research institutes - engineered in Romania, delivered worldwide.

Over the decades it grows into a network spanning 15 countries across five continents.
Sangari Engineering Services (Romania) is established by COMPETE Ltd. (Consortium of Manufacturers Producing Educational and Technological Equipment) of Cambridge, UK, as part of that international network - and becomes the longest-standing company of its kind on the Romanian market.
Sangari becomes the first private entity to initiate a national program to equip higher education with teaching and research equipment - the Romanian Universities Modernization Project, approved by Government Decision on 21 December 2000.
From the very beginning we understood that research drives a nation’s long-term development - and that Romania’s potential in this field is extraordinary. We chose to back it for the long run, with one-of-a-kind experimental models and constructive solutions tailored to each project.
We join a national consortium uniting research teams from major centres: Politehnica Bucharest, the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, Politehnica Timișoara, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and "Gheorghe Asachi" Iași. Along the way we collaborated on two specialist studies published by "Orizonturi Universitare" in Timișoara.
On 24–26 October 2007 Sangari sponsors and takes part in the International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR) conference in Timișoara - host to researchers from all five continents.
In February 2010 Sangari signs a financing contract under the EU Operational Programme "Increase of Economic Competitiveness" (ERDF, Priority Axis 2, Operation 2.3.3 - Promoting innovation in enterprises). The €/2.32M-lei project (2010–2013) builds bespoke experimental apparatus and scale models that turn the results of Romanian research into teaching and research equipment.
RoAdaptech strengthened our in-house research-development-innovation team and deepened ties with universities and the scientific diaspora, while securing full membership in international bodies such as WorldDidac and COMPETE. Many of the experimental apparatus below were born from it.
Full projectA purpose-built bench that lets researchers and students observe and measure fluid–structure interaction - a phenomenon at the heart of everything from pipelines to bridges.
A flexible platform for visualizing and quantifying the behaviour of two-phase flows under a range of conditions - foundational for energy, process and environmental engineering.
A test rig dedicated to how heat can be stored and released through phase change - a key building block for efficient, sustainable energy systems.
A bench for exploring how substances bind to and release from surfaces - central to filtration, drying and environmental remediation.
A cross-flow vertical-axis turbine module developed to capture energy from slow water currents - part of the T-Harvest line of marine/river current research.
A bench reproducing dissolved-air flotation, the process that lifts suspended particles out of water with clouds of micro-bubbles - widely used in water and wastewater treatment.
A controlled pressure vessel for studying anaerobic digestion - how micro-organisms break down organic matter without oxygen, producing biogas in the process.
A rig for visualizing and measuring how air spreads through a space or a process - relevant to ventilation, drying and aeration systems.
A teaching module that opens up the mechanics, hydraulics and control of an everyday appliance - turning a familiar object into an engineering lesson.
For the Wind Engineering Laboratory at the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, we modernized the aerodynamic tunnel with a system that reconfigures floor roughness and turbulence generators centrally and instantaneously - letting researchers recreate different atmospheric boundary layers on demand.
A reduced-scale physical model of a complex hydraulic node, built to validate numerical models through real measurements - the kind of hands-on verification that pure simulation cannot replace.
Instrumentation and monitoring for two hydropower plants, bringing live insight into how these large hydraulic systems behave in operation.
A test basin for studying ship hulls - letting naval-architecture researchers measure resistance and behaviour of hull forms in water.
An instrumented platform that makes fluid flow measurable and visible in real time - bringing modern, data-rich instrumentation to flow studies.
Built with the University of Bucharest, this temporary exhibition invited visitors to manipulate educational platforms and watch the results - from simple natural phenomena, to human-made conditions, to complex applications. It championed experiment-based education as the foundation of the scientific method, presenting core ideas in an accessible, captivating way.
Full projectFor a UTCB project, we built the experimental model used to improve the sludge-dewatering environment at the Glina wastewater treatment plant by optimizing the capture and treatment of local effluents - a reduced-scale rig, by similitude, to validate the numerical models.
