Lab Commercialization
The laboratory offers a comprehensive range of testing services for various construction materials and structures, with rates dependent on the complexity of testing, urgency, and site-specific factors. Additionally, witness and urgent testing options are available with corresponding factors applied to normal rates, and report turnaround times vary based on the urgency of testing. Transport and accommodation for testing teams during field visits are to be provided by the client.
