A 38-meter-long tilting flow channel has recently been built in the Physical Experiment Building (PEB) of Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST). Tilting flow channels of shorter than 10 or 20 m are relatively common. However, a tilting flow channel of almost 40 m long is comparatively rare. In this context, this paper reports the overall procedures of establishing the tilting flow channel, from early initial design, amendment of the design, reinforcement of the beams underneath the floor slab of the building, and construction and testing of the facility.
