  2. Tests of soils and aggregates

    For the construction of earth structures – control and verification tests.

  3. Tests of concrete structures

    Non-destructive and destructive measurement of concrete properties in structures.

  4. Tests of road structures

    Protective and base layers, structural layers of asphalt and concrete pavements.

S-2

Additional services

  1. Geotechnical surveys and diagnostics

    Geotechnical surveys, construction-technical surveys, and structural diagnostics for transportation, civil, and water management projects.
