Civil Engineering Material Tests  
 


STRUCTWEL is on the forefront in developing non-destructive testing techniques and other diagnostic aids for use in the laboratory and field. We have fully equipped material testing laboratory as also basic structural engineering research facilities and custom testing devices that have been developed to meet special project requirements. Almost a full complement of equipments is available for any field testing, including facilities to measure strength, strain, vibration, deflection, moisture and relative humidity, steel thickness and reinforcing, steel locations.
 
  • Before constructing roads, bridges, tunnels, tanks, reservoirs and buildings, selection of site is important from the viewpoint of stability of foundation and availability of construction materials.
  • Geology of area is important and rock-forming region, their physical nature, permeability, faults, joints, etc.
  • The knowledge of Erosion, Transportation and Deposition (ETD) by surface water helps in soil conservation, river control, coastal and harbour works.
  • The foundation problems of dams, bridges and buildings are directly related with geology of the area where they are to be built.
  • The knowledge of ground water is necessary in connection with excavation works, water supply, irrigation and many other purposes.
  • Geological maps and sections help considerably in planning many engineering projects
  • Pre-geological survey of the area concerned reduces the cost of engineering work
  • Range of Lab analysis support Services covering under this segment is as follows:

Our constant and consistent involvement with R&D efforts keeps us energetic, fresh and enthusiastic, and our material testing laboratory is one of its fruitful outcomes. With approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of research and testing facilities, STRUCTWEL has immense flexibility to undertake development efforts of a wide range of construction related problems. We undertake to resolve quality assessment of new materials; their field performance response and development of repair technique to match design provisions etc.
