Through analyses of the physical properties of geological material, we can predict important factors as time, costs and stability for construction projects in soil and rock. Geological engineering laboratory performs a variety of tests. Some of the test standards originate from our laboratory.

Tests:

• Drillability

- Drilling Rate Index (DRI™), Bit Wear Index (BWI™), Cutter Life Index (CLI™)

• DTA (Differential thermal analysis)
• Cerchar Abrasivity Index (CAI), Ball Mill Value (BMV)
• Rock bolt test rig, full scale

- Cap. Pull/shear: 600/500 kN
- Pull out test

• Swelling properties
• Slake durability
• Permeability test on soil
• Shear strength soil, large scale shearbox
• Grain size distribution
