SOIL TESTING

LABORATORY

Our soil testing laboratory is an integral part of geotechnical investigative services. It was established at the same time, when the geotechnical division was established in the Company. By offering in house soil testing we are able to provide fast and reliable results and analysis to our customers without the need of a third party. Initially the capacity of our laboratory was limited to cater the needs and requirements of our own geotechnical division; however, later on we enhanced the capacity of our laboratory, to provide soil testing services to the third parties also. The dedication, professionalism and skills of our laboratory team earned recognition of the Geotechnical division of NESPAK, when they included the name of our laboratory, in 2007, in their approved panel of soil testing laboratories.
Our laboratory is fully equipped to perform soil testing meeting relevant ASTM and British Standards, detail of tests that we perform are as follows;
Grain Size Analysis by Sieve Analysis and Hydrometer Atterberg Limits Uncon�ned Compression Tests Direct Shear Tests Consolidation Tests CBR( California Bearing Ratio) Standard / Modi�ed Proctor Tests Organic Matter Chemical Tests, including Sulfates, Chlorides, pH Value and Total Dissolved Solids
