                    [Summary] => The country’s first state-of-the-heart wall testing laboratory has been set up in Los Baños, Laguna.


Now operational, the facility was installed at the Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) on the UP Los Baños College of Forestry and Natural Resources.


The laboratory was conceptualized by FPRDI director Dr. Florence Soriano as a facility that measures the inherent strength of prefabricated walls so that they can be used not only as partitions but also to bear load.

It’s an innovation of the fast-to-build emergency shelter developed by the Lost Baños-based Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) for the disadvantaged sectors of society.


Initially called F-shelter (F for foldaway) or "folding house," this "instant" prefabricated house can be assembled in less than an hour by four persons.
