Geotechnical Laboratory

Being a One Stop Geotechnical Soil Investigation contractor, Foundtest  also provides laboratory testing services as well.  All construction materials, soil samples (disturb & undisturbed) and rock samples collected on site can be further tested in our associate labs according to the client or design engineer's requirement.
