IGS has a fully-fledged geotechnical laboratory with facilities for testing soil, rock and groundwater samples. Our laboratory team members are well-trained to handle the state-of-art testing equipment. Â We can also provide on-site laboratory services for major projects.
We are committed to providing reliable and accurate test results to our customers, along with technically correct interpretations.
As a part of this effort, our laboratory is accredited to the National Accreditation Board for Laboratories (NABL)
. This is a recognition that the quality procedures in our laboratory conform to the International Standard ISO/IEC: 17025-2017. This assures our clients of work quality in accordance with international norms and authorizes us to use the NABL Logo on test results.
