Civil/Architectural Material

What is Civil and Architectural Material Testing?

We provide testing, consulting, and research services for civil engineering materials and geotextiles (such as aggregates, asphalt concrete, ready-mix concrete, steel materials, meshes, etc.) used domestically and internationally. Additionally, we evaluate the safety of building materials like insulation, flooring, and other construction materials used in interior and exterior structures. Our services include testing for fire-resistant doors, fireproof structures, and the fire safety performance of building finishing materials, as well as conducting fire-resistance performance tests.
