Wind tunnel construction and construction of turbine test benches
We design and build wind tunnels and engine test benches for the automotive and aerospace industries as well as for universities and research institutes
The experts for wind tunnel construction
Would you like to have a wind tunnel built? Then Stahl-Projektbau Wentz is your partner throughout Europe! We plan, design and assemble wind tunnels and turbine test benches for leading companies and institutions throughout Europe. From wind tunnels for the automotive industry to wind tunnels for engines and wind tunnels for research.
We have a wealth of experience in steel structures that have to be able to do more. The best in their industry trust us to realize their wind tunnel or flow project. And well-known universities and research institutions also rely on Stahl-Projektbau Wentz.
With our in-house designers and structural engineers, our steelworkers and fitters – and above all with flexibility and experience, we can realize 100% individual wind tunnels for you. In close coordination with you, we take into account every requirement, no matter how detailed, for your perfect and future-proof wind tunnel. We can also take structural features and additional equipment into account.
“Planning, design, construction: We provide you with all steel work for the construction of a wind tunnel from a single source – including statics.”

Our services
Services in detail
- Comprehensive consulting from the initial project idea to the completion and commissioning of wind tunnels in industry and research with both open and closed measuring sections
- Design and planning of individual wind tunnels with our team of experienced designers and engineers
- Calculation of the statics of wind tunnels and all associated components, extensions and attachments by our structural engineers
- Production of the elements at our location in Goslar/Langelsheim as a steel construction
- If necessary: Reinforcement of existing structures at the wind tunnel installation site
- Delivery and installation of wind tunnels in Germany and Europe
- Accompanying the commissioning of the wind tunnel
- Maintenance, inspection and repair work
Applications and dimensions
- We can realize almost any size of wind tunnel, both in terms of the length of the channel and in terms of the cross-section.
- The areas of application are extremely diverse: from scientific flow and material research to testing flow behavior on miniature models, prototype testing of vehicle or turbine models, and even test centers for real vehicles, aircraft turbines, drones or other flying objects.
- Our wind tunnels can be designed to meet the highest demands. We design and build wind tunnel systems that can also be used for altitude and climate simulations. We select heat and cold-resistant components, materials and coatings so that the wind tunnel can also be used in challenging environments.

Why Wentz?
There are many reasons why you should realise your project with us.
Experience & precision Throughout the entire chain of production
With Stahl-Projektbau WENTZ, you benefit from concentrated expertise in all aspects of steel construction for research & industry – all from a single source. With our own in-house facilities, we are able to offer you all the services you need for your project: from design, through planning and structural analysis, and on to production and assembly.
Design office with statics expertise
In our technical office with two engineers and three designers, we develop the suitable solution for your requirements. Our cross-sectoral expertise and experience gained from countless projects enable us to develop a powerful solution for you, thereby taking your budget specifications into account. The structural analyses are also created in-house by us. Furthermore, the realisation of complex constructions in difficult-to-access areas under challenging conditions is one of our special fields of expertise.
Processing in Accordance with DIN EN 1090-2 EXC 3
We work in accordance with the highest national and international standards. This includes, amongst other things, processing in accordance with DIN EN 1090-2 execution class EXC 3. In addition to the use of modern machines and equipment for steel processing, the utilisation of the latest 2D and 3D planning software is also part of our daily business.
