In the laboratory
- Particle size analysis (sieves, sieve shaker)
- Moisture content and oven drying
- Soil cleanliness: methylene blue test
- Concrete: moulds, curing tank, compression press
On site
- Plate load test: bearing capacity of platforms
- Core sampling of asphalt pavements
- In-situ compaction testing
- Sampling materials with the supervising engineer
Measured results, not promises
Every layer, every material and every concrete is checked before moving on.
