Our laboratory provides an extensive range of concrete and related materials testing services which meet the appropriate international standards. Typical testing includes compressive strength of concrete cubes and cores, as well as bricks and blocks. Other testing includes mortar mix proportions and other related chemical tests. We provide an on-site service to facilitate the sampling and making of concrete test cubes as well as a collection service. All cubes are appropriately cured in readiness for testing at our laboratory. Working with our specialist field staff, we are also able to undertake sampling and inspection of concrete structures together with subsequent laboratory testing.

Soil and rock samples can be obtained from the site subsurface by several means. We test soil and rock properties according to national and international standards (SBC, ASTM, BS, and AASHTO), and other procedures. Physical, mechanical and hydraulical parameters are checked for geological and geotechnical reports for construction and spatial planning. We deliver description and classification of soils and rocks to customer needs and/or requirements. Solutions and Mining Laboratory will provide sufficient data to complete an economical design without incurring excessive tests and costs. Depending on the project type, testing may range from simple soil classification to complex strength and deformation testing.
Aggregates are inert granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone that, along with water and portland cement are essential ingredient of concrete. Aggregate meet our basic needs for the construction of home and Commercial buildings, bridges, and roads. SML undertakes Mechanical, physical and chemical testing for a variety of Clients on a wide range of natural and recycled aggregates to ensure they are fit for purpose. We also offer a thorough on-site material assessment and sampling service.
