Material Testing (Site Level)

Ensuring quality through rigorous on-site verification

Material Testing On-Site

🧱 Concrete (On-Site)

  • Slump Test – To check workability before pouring
  • Concrete Cube Casting – For strength checking (7 & 28 days)
  • Visual Check of Concrete – Segregation, bleeding, consistency

🧪 Cement (Basic Checks)

  • Date & Grade Verification
  • Hand Feel Test – Smoothness and lumps
  • Colour Check – Uniform grey colour
  • Float Test – Cement should sink, not float

🪨 Aggregates (On-Site)

  • Sieve Check (Manual) – Size and cleanliness
  • Visual Inspection – Dust, clay, organic matter
  • Water Absorption Check – Simple soaking method

🔩 Steel (Reinforcement)

  • Diameter & Length Check
  • Brand & Grade Verification (Fe 500 / Fe 500D)
  • Bend Test (Manual) – No cracks after bending
  • Rust Inspection

🌍 Soil (Foundation Level)

  • Field Identification Test – Clay / sand / silt
  • Moisture Check by Hand
  • Simple Load Test (Plate/Field check)
  • Visual Bearing Observation during Excavation
