Lab Testing

We offer over 10 years of experience, providing a broad range of services to clients around the globe. Our network of laboratories and testing facilities, staffed by competent and experienced personnel, help you to reduce risks, shorten time to market and demonstrate the quality and safety of materials, components, or products. Full scale structure testing is our main forte. We can test all type of structures such as wall, slab, scaffolding, beam, etc. Other than that, we offer wide range of construction material testing services. The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by Standards Malaysia and accepted worldwide through ILAC-MRA recognition.
