CECB
Geotechnical Laboratory

Projects with great sensitivity to soil-rock behaviour increasingly rely on sophisticated testing programs. To address the unique geo-design needs of such projects, CECBLS operates an Advanced Soil and Rock Testing Laboratory led by experienced engineers. This facility is one of the leading government geotechnical laboratories in the country equipped with high-volume capacity and automated, around-the-clock capabilities promote the expedited turnaround of test data.
