Laboratory Testing Services

State-of-the-Art Soil, Rock & Material Testing

Delivering precise laboratory analysis for geotechnical, structural, and environmental engineering needs — fully compliant with ISO & NABL standards.

Introduction

At Geotest Engineering PVT. LTD., our NABL-accredited laboratory is equipped with advanced instruments to precisely evaluate the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of soils, rocks, aggregates, and construction materials.

For over 22 years, we have worked with infrastructure developers, government agencies, industrial clients, and consultants across India — providing accurate test results that form the backbone of safe and cost-efficient engineering design.

1. Strength Tests
  • Triaxial Shear Test

    • Types:

      • Unconsolidated Undrained (UU)

      • Consolidated Undrained (CU) with pore pressure measurement

      • Consolidated Drained (CD)

    • Purpose: Determine shear strength parameters (c, φ) for foundation and slope stability design.

  • Direct Shear Test

    • For quick determination of cohesion and angle of internal friction.

  • Unconfined Compression Test (UCS)

    • For cohesive soil and rock strength.

  • Van Shear Test

    • Quick measurement of undrained shear strength in clay samples.

2. Compaction & Density Tests
  • Proctor Density Test

    • Standard and Modified Proctor to determine optimum moisture content & maximum dry density for compaction control.

3. Consolidation Tests
  • Determine settlement characteristics and compression index under load.

4. Index Property Tests
  • Grain size distribution (sieve & hydrometer analysis)

  • Atterberg Limits (Liquid, Plastic & Shrinkage limits)

  • Natural moisture content

  • Specific gravity of soil solids

5. Swelling & Shrinkage Analysis
  • Measure swelling pressure, swelling index for expansive soils.

6. Permeability Tests
  • Falling head & constant head methods for hydraulic conductivity measurement.

7. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test
  • Lab assessment for pavement design.

8. Rock Testing
  • Crushing strength of rocks

  • Point load strength index

9. Chemical Analysis of Soil & Water
  • pH value determination

  • Concentrations of ions (chlorides, sulfates, etc.)

  • Suitability for construction and concrete mixing

Standards We Follow

All tests are performed as per ISASTM, and BS standards, ensuring that results are reliable, comparable, and recognized by engineering authorities nationwide.
