Lab Tests We Offer

Atterberg Limits

Determines the Liquid Limit and Plastic Limit of soil to assess its moisture behavior, swell potential and strength.

​

Sieve Analysis

Determines soil or aggregate particle size distribution (>75 μm), essential for assessing material suitability and performance in construction.

Hydrometer Analysis

Determines the particle size distribution of fine-grained soils (<75 μm), essential for soil classification and behavior assessment.

​

Proctor (Standard/Modified)

Determines the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density of soil for effective compaction and stability.

​

Electrical Resistivity of Soil (In-situ/Lab)

Measures soil’s ability to conduct electrical currents, used to assess corrosion potential.

 

​

Soluble Sulphate Content

Measures sulphate level in soil or water, crucial for assessing potential risks to concrete and foundation durability.

​

LA Abrasion Test

Measures the resistance of aggregates to wear and fragmentation, essential for evaluating durability in pavement and construction materials.

​

Micro Deval Abrasion Loss Test

Determines the ratio of soil particle density to water density, essential for soil classification and engineering analysis.

​

Percent Fractured Particles

Determines the percentage of angular, broken particles in aggregates, crucial for assessing material strength and durability in construction.

Percent Flat and Elongated Particles

Determines the shape characteristics of aggregates to ensure optimal performance in construction applications.

Specific Gravity Test

Determines the ratio of soil particle density to water density, essential for soil classification and engineering analysis.

​

Freezing and Thawing of Coarse Aggregate

Evaluates the durability of aggregates by measuring their resistance to damage caused by repeated freeze-thaw cycles
