>> Background

The Data Collection, Laboratories and Quality Control Department provides extended services from field data collection services and routine testing of construction materials to consultation of complex problems related to materials technology and applications. Services include, but are not limited to, pavement condition data collection for roughness, visual distress, deflection data, quality control/assurance of engineering activities, and materials testing. Our laboratories are equipped with modern field and laboratory testing equipment satisfying the British Standards (BS) and/or American Standards (ASTM) in the fields of concrete, bitumen and asphalt mixes, soil and rock, aggregate and stone, steel reinforcement and building components, chemical and water analysis, and non-destructive testing and loading of structures. Also, scope of services cover, asphalt and concrete mix design, consultation on construction materials and quarrying, design of materials testing laboratories, and conducting research programs and training courses.

At NAMAA, we maintain modern drilling and soil-rock sampling equipment designed for site investigation purposes according to the latest technologies. Moreover we own the latest field and laboratory testing equipment including equipment for geophysical studies as well as mixers and pumps for grouting purposes.

On the other hand, our labs satisfy the British Standards (BS) and/or American Standards (ASTM) in the field of concrete, bitumen and asphalt mixes, soil and rock, aggregate and stone, steel reinforcement and building components, chemical analysis and water analysis, and non-destructive testing and loading of structures.
