Construction Material

In correlation to international and national standards, we establish the quality, durability, and compliance of construction materials and engineering product options through our Construction and Engineering Testing Services. We work with more than 200 certified experts and laboratories to present reliable solutions for the required testing, such as the BIS, ASTM, IS, and ISO standards.

Importance of Construction and Engineering Testing

1. Safety Assurance: avoids any possible misuse of the material, which could result in the collapse of the structural components.

2. Regulatory Compliance: follows guidelines that BIS, ISO, and ASTM stipulate; this was done in a way that made it the law.

3. Cost Efficiency: allows early detection of defects, reducing project delays and additional costs.

4. Sustainability: The building process that uses environmentally friendly materials or is in itself sustainable.

Benefits of Construction and Engineering Testing

  • This should ensure enhanced structural integrity and durability of buildings and infrastructure.
  • The company’s global recognition is established by its bonding with standardizing bodies like BIS, ISO, and ASTM, hence getting acceptance of international projects.
  • Out of these, some of them will have a better project reputation and fewer liability risks.
  • A piece is made to suit the requirements of each project in that it even gives tests.

Who Could Avail of Construction and Engineering Testing Services?

1. Architects and Engineers: Specifying material quality to the extent needed for a particular application.

2. Contractors and Builders: Ensuring that projects adhere to the regulations set.

3. Government and Regulatory Bodies: Ensure the product is quality-standard and copyrighted.

4. Material Manufacturers: In case of testing for a certification like ISI MARK (BIS), the production manufacturers might be asked to provide quality production conditions and material performance allowance scenarios.

How it Works

Step 1: Consultation

Initial Consultation: Find out the project requirements from the customers, including the materials to be tested.

Step 2: Sample Submission

Sample Collection: Collect the specimens on-site or from the manufacturer for your tests.

Step 3: Testing

Testing: Laboratories should apply tests to the product integrity per the required standards such as BIS, ASTM, or ISO.

Step 4: Report

Results Analysis: Supply the reports with the results, clearly indicating any deviations from the standards.

cement testing
Cement Testing
Cement is tested to determine its strength, setting time, and quality. Common tests include fineness test (measuring particle size), consistency test (water requirement for standard paste), setting time test (initial and final setting period), soundness test (volume stability), and compressive strength test. These tests ensure the cement is strong and durable enough for construction.

Concrete Testing
Concrete testing evaluates the performance of fresh and hardened concrete. Slump test checks workability, compaction factor test measures consistency, compressive strength test checks load-bearing capacity, flexural strength test evaluates bending strength, and durability tests determine resistance against weather, chemicals, and water permeability.

steel testing
Steel and Reinforcement Testing
Steel is tested to confirm its tensile strength, ductility, and chemical composition. Methods include tensile test (stretching strength), bend and re-bend test (flexibility), impact test (resistance to sudden load), and chemical analysis (carbon, manganese, sulfur content). These ensure reinforcement bars and structural steel can withstand loads safely.

Bricks and Block Testing
Bricks, blocks, and pavers undergo compressive strength tests (load-bearing ability), water absorption test (porosity), efflorescence test (salt content), and dimension/tolerance check (size and shape accuracy). These tests determine their suitability for walls, pavements, and structures.

aggregates testing (coarse and fine)
Aggregates Testing (Coarse and Fine)
Aggregates are tested for gradation (size distribution), specific gravity, water absorption, impact value, crushing value, and Los Angeles abrasion test (resistance to wear and tear). These properties affect the strength and durability of concrete and asphalt mixes.

soil testing
Soil Testing
Soil tests include moisture content, Atterberg limits (plasticity), Proctor compaction test (density), shear strength test, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) for road subgrades. These determine soil stability and suitability for foundations and earthworks.

Tile, Stone, and Flooring Material Testing
Tiles, natural stones, and flooring materials are tested for breaking strength, water absorption, slip resistance, abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability. These ensure safety, durability, and aesthetic quality in construction.

Paints, Coatings, and Adhesives Testing
Construction coatings and adhesives are checked for viscosity, drying time, adhesion strength, chemical resistance, and weather resistance. This ensures protective coatings and bonding materials perform well in real conditions.

wood testing
Wood and Plywood Testing
Wood and wood-based products are tested for moisture content, density, bending strength, tensile strength parallel to grain, water resistance, and bond quality of plywood layers. These confirm suitability for furniture, flooring, and structural use.

bitumen testing
Asphalt and Bitumen Testing
Used in road construction, these materials are tested for penetration value (hardness), softening point (temperature performance), ductility (stretching ability), and viscosity. This ensures road durability and resistance to traffic loads.
