We offer comprehensive services in soil testing, concrete testing, asphalt testing, materials testing, and engineering surveying.
About us
Our laboratory is one of the most important and best laboratories specialized in the field of civil engineering, as it consists of several departments such as geotechnical, concrete, asphalt, chemicals, and surveying. The laboratory workers have high capabilities in the field of classic and specific tests that were conducted in various types of soil such as clay, sandy, rocky, gypseous soils, and others, which made their experience very high in this field. Our laboratory makes accuracy and integrity essential factors in field and laboratory work. Therefore the laboratory administration is used to conduct periodic calibrations of the devices used in the tests. Al Shams Laboratory is located in the center of Baghdad, and our services can cover all regions of Iraq.

Frequently Asked Questiones
What are geotechnical soil investigations?
Soil investigations are a set of field and laboratory tests conducted to determine soil properties, strata, and groundwater levels. They are essential for designing safe and economical foundations for structures. These investigations include drilling boreholes, performing standard penetration tests (SPT), and taking samples at various depths.
What tests do you perform on concrete?
We conduct on-site fresh concrete tests (slump, temperature) and take concrete cube samples for compressive strength testing in the laboratory. We also provide consultations for improving concrete mixes and monitoring the quality of construction.
Do your services cover governorates outside of Baghdad?
Yes, we provide our services in all governorates of Iraq. We have mobile teams equipped with the latest field equipment to carry out work at any site under varying conditions.
What specifications do you use in your tests?
We adhere to Iraqi and international standards (ASTM, BS, AASHTO) in all our tests, with periodic calibration of equipment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results.
