Soil samples extracted from boreholes in the field are sent to our laboratory in central Cairo to obtain soil classification and physical and mechanical properties. Our laboratory is fully equipped and expertly manned to perform soil and rock testing to the highest international standards.
Index Tests: water content determination, Atterberg limits, grain size distribution, specific gravity, and bulk density and maximum/minimum density Field Vane Tests
Strength Tests: unconfined compression test, unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression test, consolidation-undrained triaxial compression test, consolidation drained triaxial test, point load test, direct shear test, laboratory vane test, and slake durability test
Compressibility Tests: one-dimensional consolidation test and collapse potentials test Compaction Tests
Swelling Tests: one dimension swell test
Chemical Tests: testing of soil and groundwater samples for PH-sulfate-chloride-carbonate contents-total dissolved salts
