Chemistry Laboratory

Our laboratories conduct analyses using cutting-edge devices and international methods. Thanks to their equipment that provide fast and reliable results, the analyses of all our product group are carried out accurately and within a short time. Knowing that instrumental analyses affect product quality and human health, analyses are performed by specialist personnel in our laboratories.

• It controls the quality of our production.
• It is an important part of our production process.
• It is the prerequisite of high-quality production.
• It is a determinant of the extent of success of good production practices and inspection of critical control points.

Concrete Laboratories

Our laboratories conduct tests in three main categories: concrete, aggregate (crushed rock and crushed sand) and cement tests.

All physical and chemical tests are performed on aggregates to control their compliance with the quality criteria defined in concrete standards.

Physical and chemical tests specified in the standard are performed for the binders such as the cement that is the raw material in concrete production, fly ash and cinder and concrete mixing waters.

Several tests and methods are employed to check the characteristics of the fresh and hardened forms of concrete, the main component of structures.

All the tests are conducted in accordance with the Turkish Standards.
