CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL TESTING
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL TESTING
We provide comprehensive testing services for a wide range of construction materials and building components. Our testing includes mechanical, physical, and chemical assessments conducted both in the field and in the laboratory. We cover soil, aggregate, concrete, rock, cement, asphalt, blocks, marble, tiles, water, and other construction materials. Our testing supports our Geotechnical Engineering Division and meets customer requirements according to various standards such as BS, BS EN ISO, ASTM, AASHTO, DIN, CIRIA, and more.
