The construction of large buildings and infrastructures has contributed a lot in the upliftment of lifestyle and ease of doing business . Since the very beginning of human existence, it has been the important aspect of life. A construction project is much more than what meets the eye. Either to provide accommodation to a large number of people or to construct large infrastructures, we have to ensure the safety and high performance of the activities and installation of construction material on the sites. To meet all the demand and safety measures the testing of material plays a great role. To avoid any kind of extortionate failure and delay in the project as well as to escalate the growth of industry the advice from professionals and testing reports from reliable sources is required.
Our laboratory provides a wide range of testing and consultancy services in the field of construction industry. To mitigate the risk and reform the structural engineering we provide variety of specific tests performed by our laboratory like testing of cement, bitumen/ modified bitumen, fly ash, admixture, blanketing material, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, granular sub base, water bound macadam, wet mixture macadam, bituminous concrete, emulsion, brick, paver block, concrete beam/ cubes, fly ash, stone/ kota/ granite/ lime, marble, tiles/ ceramic tiles. We have a team of highly experienced scientists, engineers and technicians with a unique variety of knowledge and skills who always put an extra effort to observe the need and demand of our clients and provide the reports which are reliable, safe and complaint free. We perform on-site testing services as well as proper investigation and failure analysis to provide best consultancy services. We at JOHANNES KEPLER TESTING AND RESEARCH CENTRE(HICM) perform all the testing activities under the strict guidelines of NABL 17025 and ISO 9001. We provide testing and consultancy services to industries, government agencies and individual clients as well.
Chemical ingredients are used in a variety of Building & Construction products to make them safer, long lasting, cost saving and energy efficient. Intrinsic strengths and weakness cannot be altered by the designers, for this a unique chemistry is required to enhance the chemical properties of the material. We provide various specific tests to cover the wide range of scope, with our comprehensive equipment and well thought policy we serve better to our customers.
