Laboratory Concrete / Construction Chemistry

Qualified staff and an outstanding infrastructure support the scientists in research and development projects as well as in challenging services.

Our laboratory offers a large range of tests on fresh and hardened concrete, cement, admixtures, additives, and aggregates. Tests for water conductivity, freeze-thaw, chlorid resistance, shrinkage, creep, etc. will be carried out according to SIA 262 / 1. We perform both, standard and non-standard tests and provide different types of measurements and analyses.

Our test laboratory meets the highest quality standards and is accredited in the following STS 338 scopes:

Creep stands of loads up to 600 kN

Physical and mechanical tests

In addition to tests on fresh and hardened concrete and mortar, we are skilled in gas- and water permeability tests, rheological measurements on cement paste, mortar and further tests since many years.

Ion chromatography

Chemical and mineralogical tests

We maintain various analytical methods such as optical and electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, thermal analysis, zeta potential analysis, heat flow calorimetry, pore solution analysis by means of ion chromatography for providing help to answer your questions.
