The Department of Civil Engineering offers a wide range of consultancy services to industries, government organizations, and private clients. Our facilities are equipped to conduct material testing, design, and evaluation services in compliance with Indian Standards (IS codes), ASTM, and other relevant specifications. We aim to deliver precise, reliable, and technically sound solutions to meet the diverse needs of our stakeholders.

Areas of Expertise

Cement and Concrete Testing

We provide comprehensive testing for cement and concrete to assess their quality, durability, and compliance with standards. Services include:

• Concrete Mix Design based on IS 10262 and client-specific requirements.
• Strength and durability assessments (compressive strength, flexural strength, setting time, soundness, etc.).
• Specialized concrete evaluation for structural applications.

Steel Bar Testing

Our laboratory conducts mechanical and physical tests on reinforcement bars (TMT/structural steel), including:

• Tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.
• Bend and rebend tests.
• Verification of compliance with IS 1786 and related standards.

Tiles, Bricks, and Paver Block Testing

We evaluate construction materials such as tiles, bricks, and paver blocks for:

• Compressive strength and water absorption.
• Dimensional accuracy and efflorescence.
• Conformance to IS 1077, IS 3495, and related specifications.

Aggregate Testing

Aggregates used in concrete and road works are tested for:

• Sieve analysis, specific gravity, and water absorption.
• Impact, crushing, and abrasion resistance.
• Suitability for concrete and bituminous mixes.

Soil Investigation and Testing

We provide detailed geotechnical investigations including:

• Grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and compaction characteristics.
• Shear strength parameters using direct shear and triaxial tests.
• California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests for pavement design.
• Recommendations for foundation systems based on soil profiles.

Foundation Design Consultancy

Our structural engineers provide foundation design solutions tailored to soil conditions and loading requirements, ensuring safe, economical, and durable foundations for various structures.

Road and Pavement Engineering

Services include:

• Material characterization and mix design for flexible pavements.
• Marshall Mix Design for bituminous layers.
• Structural design of rigid and flexible pavements in accordance with IRC guidelines.

Water and Wastewater Quality Testing

Our environmental laboratory undertakes testing of water and wastewater samples for:

• Physico-chemical parameters (pH, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, sulfates, etc.).
• Biological parameters (BOD, COD, coliforms, etc.).
• Suitability analysis for drinking water, industrial use, and environmental discharge.
