 Construction Materials and Structures Lab
The structures lab, with its state-of-the-art equipment, provides the facilities to test and assess the quality of most of the construction materials, such as aggregate, cement, admixtures, fresh and hardened concrete, reinforcing steel and additive materials. The structures lab also contains all the equipment, tools and kits necessary to evaluate and assess existing structures. This assessment is based on in-situ material testing (destructive and non-destructive) and analysis.
