Laboratory Testing

We have extensive capabilities at out St.13 facility for the testing of a wide range of construction materials including:

• Concrete – slump, temperature, cube making and compressive strength, chloride permeability, water absorption, etc
• Cement – durability, soundness, etc
• Steel – tensile strength, bend, rebend, etc
• Asphalt – Marshall mix design, coring, etc
• Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA)
• Hollow blocks
• Paving blocks
• Terrazzo tiles
• Shotcrete panels

All sampling and testing is carried out by our qualified technicians in accordance with BS, ASTM standards and with QCS2014.

We also establish, staff and operate site laboratories at construction sites equipped to carry out a wide range of testing including in-situ testing and sampling.

Chemical testing of construction materials is carried out at our St.2 facilities.

A full list of our testing capabilities can be found here.

We also have extensive capabilities at out St.13 facilities to enable a comprehensive range of testing soils and aggregates to ensure compliance with project specifications. We have the capabilities to carry out a wide range of classification, compaction, durability and abrasivity tests. Chemical testing of soils and aggregates is carried out at our St.2 facilities.

Our experienced field technicians also carry out on site testing to assess the performance of materials in-situ (e.g in-situ density tests by nuclear density gauge or sand replacement methods, plate load testing, etc).

A full range of tests we can offer can be found here.

Located at our St.13 facilities, our dedicated geotechnical testing laboratory provides testing services in order to support the company’s Geotechnical Investigation Dept. In addition to classification and chemical testing, our geotechnical testing capabilities include:

• Triaxial compressive strength
• Uniaxial compressive strength and modulus of deformation
• Tensile strength
• Point load testing
• Slake durability
• Abrasiveness

Located at our St. 2, Salwa Industrial Area facility, our extensive chemical and environmental testing laboratory has the capabilities to analyse a wide range of chemical and microbiological parameters from the following:

• Groundwater
• Seawater
• Drinking water
• Wastewater / sewage water / TSE
• Marine sediments, soil, sludge, solid waste
• Rocks

All testing is carried out on accordance with international standards (ASTM, USEPA, SMWW, etc) and the large majority of our testing is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.

On site capabilities also include noise monitoring and air-quality monitoring.

Located at our St. 2, Salwa Industrial Area facility, we also test various petroleum products in support of power generation and distribution clients and other clients requiring condition testing services. Our services include testing and analysis for the following:

• Transformer oils
• Lubricants
• Diesel
• Used oil

All testing is carried out in accordance with the relevant ASTM and IEC standards and are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.

We offer an extensive range of chemical and microbiological analyses to hotels, restaurants, catering companies, and other concerned parties which handle and process foodstuffs, in order to support their food safety monitoring programmes.

We also offer an on-site food and swab sampling service, carried out by qualified technicians to ensure sampling protocols are strictly followed. Environmental monitoring for bacteria and fungus can also be undertaken.

We also carry out drinking water analysis to ensure that potable water confirms to WHO guidelines and standards.

Our food testing laboratory is located at our St. 2, Salwa Industrial Area facility.
