Soil and Rock
Soil and Rock

Most of our planet is made up of soil and rocks, they are vital to life on earth to support our ecosystem. As they are widely used for construction, its design is done keeping in view many factors such as presence of water, temperature, humidity and direction of load which can affect the behaviour of soil and rock. Tests on soil and rock can be used to model existing in situ conditions as well as conditions that will exist at different stages of project development because the test can systematically characterize the behaviors of soil and rock in a controlled environment.

Our laboratory has employees, specialized in testing of soil and rock. With comprehensive equipment and well thought methods, we provide service to cover the wide range of industries. We have an exemplary flexible plan to provide the desired and necessary data as economically as possible. We have the potential and comprehensive equipment to provide various kinds of specified testing and consultancy services over a wide range of scope.

Soil and Rock - Chemical

Chemical analysis of soil and rock is done to determine the level of available nutrients, to predict the yield and profitability of usage. High quality soil analysis is the basis of planning of usage, and thus the quality of the entire production cycle, which results in high quality and yields better utilization of the product. Our laboratory is well equipped and has the employees specialized in this field to perform the various specific tests in this field. We perform all the testing services under the strict guidelines of NABL 17025 and ISO 9001.

Soil and Rock - Mechanical

Mechanical analysis of soil and rock is controlled through microstructural characteristics such as rock size distribution, rock shape and its composition. The testing is carried out to determine the effects and modifications to stresses, strains, drainage and particle management. Our laboratory provides the services to deliver the demand and need of industries at all the levels. We perform all the tests under the guidelines of NABL 17025 and ISO 9001.
