An Unremarkable Soil and Rock Testing History
For over 60 years, we have tested countless soils and rocks at our laboratories used in various small, medium, and large constructions. Thanks to our Soil testing experts who have joined this mission of helping our clients build sturdy construction sites with strong foundations built on suitable soil.
SGES has the following state-of-the-art facility for testing soil, rock samples, and geosynthetic materials adhering to relevant Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)/ASTM and BS standards. Below is a glimpse of our soil and rock testing capabilities to test the soil's chemical, mechanical, and engineering properties.
