California bearing ratio (CRB) test is used to evaluate subgrade strength for the design of flexible pavements, roads and runways. CBR test results are used as guidelines for the determination of component thickness layers in road and airfields structure. Building Standards Limited can provide accurate test results for CBR test of subgrade, base and subbase material for the design of road and pavement within optimum timeline and low budget.

Los Angeles abrasion test is used to determine relative quality of aggregates used in the construction industry. The aggregate sample is subjected to abrasive charge of steel balls in loss Angeles abrasion testing machine. The loss of aggregate material obtained by the difference in weight after sieve analysis is expressed in percentage. This test is used for abrasion value of small sized coarse aggregates with maximum size smaller than 1 ½ inch. For percentage value of aggregate loss due to degradation of large sized coarse aggregate by impact abrasion ASTM C-535 is widely applicable.

Design of all civil engineering structures like Industrial plant buildings, commercial and residential buildings, water retaining structures, bridges and towers etc. require safe and economical structural design with the use of suitable available material satisfying visual acceptability and incorporating architectural profiles. Structural design plays an important role as it governs the cost and duration of the project.

BSL performs a structural evaluation for the installation of solar panels over roof tops of existing structures. Our expert engineers can calculate the strength of the existing roofs to withstand the expected loads of solar panels and provide cost-effective designs to install solar panel plates/assembly over different types of roof structures like RCC slab, Shell roof, Precast Roof structure, and PEB structures.

A prime source of deterioration in foundations and superstructures is the use of low-pH soil and fine aggregate. Low pH speeds up the process of degradation of concrete which leads to the development of pores and cracks in concrete. Due to damage of concrete cover the rate of corrosion of steel reinforcement increases exponentially. The most economical solution to this problem is the use of a cheap stabilizing agent to improve the engineering properties of soil. Our laboratory offers soil stabilization services according to ASTM standards, which entail determining the optimal percentage of stabilizing agent. This procedure not only neutralizes the soil's pH value but also enhances its strength and durability, reduces swelling and shrinkage, boosts erosion resistance, improves workability, and provides a cost-effective solution to the problem.

BSL offers limited non-destructive testing NDT techniques to accurately assess the in-place conditions of historic masonry structures and heritage sites. Non-destructive techniques do not disrupt the materials used in the construction for the archeological sites additionally the historic materials are not destroyed. Currently, the following NDT services are available: Rebound Hammer Test, Ultrasonic Velocity Testing, In-situ Bond Strength Test:

BSL performs a structural evaluation for the integrity testing of solar panels over rooftops of existing structures. Our expert engineers can calculate the strength of the existing roofs to withstand the expected loads of solar panels and provide cost-effective designs to install solar panel plates/assembly over different types of roof structures like RCC slab, Shell roof, Precast Roof structure, and PEB structures.

BSL can provide economical solutions in accordance with international standards to improve the engineering properties of soil to mitigate the potential damage caused by the use of unsuitable soils in foundations. Most soils used as backfill materials are obtained from nearby riverbeds that carry untreated wastewater from industries and other chemical pollutants from city wastewater. This can result in efflorescence in brick masonry foundations and is a major cause of the deterioration of concrete and steel in subsoil RCC structures. BSL offers cheap soil stabilization techniques for long-term durability and protection for brick and concrete in contact with soil for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
