LABORATORY

WE PROVIDE LABORATORY TESTING SERVICES WITH PRECISE MEASUREMENTS, PROMPT TURNAROUND TIMES, AND INDUSTRY-LEADING REPORTING AND DIGITAL DATA.

The design and analyses of any rock engineering project requires careful mechanical characterization of the host rock.

For this purpose, rock cores are drilled on-site and rock samples are prepared for laboratory testing. These samples then go through various standard rock mechanics testing procedures to determine several physical and mechanical properties. These properties are typically used for design purposes, including any numerical simulations of the problem using Geomechanica's Irazu software.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Specimen preparation and testing are performed in compliance with the relevant:

  • International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Suggested Methods
  • ASTM Standards
