Geology and Subsurface Exploration Laboratory
Our Geology and Subsurface Exploration Laboratory is used for classification of rocks, preparation of rock samples and for conducting experiments to evaluate the physical and engineering properties of rocks. This laboratory is also used to conduct field experiments for subsurface exploration, site investigation and evaluation.
The major equipment in our laboratory includes:
- geological structures model
- eroded ground models
- stratum model
- volcano model
- regular polyhedron models
- drift model
- coastal erosion model
- point load test apparatus
- laboratory rock drill machine
- specimen cutting-core trimming/grinding machine
- drilling rig
- subsurface exploration devices
- Slake durability apparatus
- Terzaghi's plate load apparatus
- rock classification hammer
- piezometers with read-out units
- earth load cells
- ground water indictors
