Soil Testing
Soil is the first and most important material to be tested when it comes to a construction activity. Properties of soil vary according to its composition and type. Before starting any construction activity on any land it should be made sure that the soil is suitable for such construction activities. It is most important for a building as well as a road that the soil below it is capable to bear the load from the superstructure above it. Quality of the soil is judged by analyzing the properties of the soil and those properties limits the use of land.STL provides soil testing facilities both in laboratory and onsite. STL conducts chemical as well as mechanical testing of soil as per relevant standards:
