Laboratory<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our laboratory offers a full range of specialized testing on soil, rock, concrete and its components, ceramics, bricks, masonry, tiles, and refractories. Flow limit testing on ore concentrates for marine transport. <\/p>\n

These tests are offered as part of construction materials quality control, mine tailings management, problem identification, dispute cases, transport, and project aesthetics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
