Laboratory & Field Activities
“As engineers, our role is not just to study the world, but to shape it.” There is no challenge too complex for a team like ours united, prepared, and proactive. Whether you need accredited testing, new test methods, internal research or expert guidance in materials technology, we bring our full capability to your project.
Our Materials Testing Laboratory
At the core of Tectonics Group is a dedicated materials testing facility that underpins our geotechnical, pavement and structural assignments across Nigeria and West Africa.
The laboratory carries out routine and specialised testing on soils, aggregates, concrete and asphalt under documented procedures aligned with national and international standards (including BS, ASTM and EN where applicable). Test data feeds directly into foundation design, pavement design, construction quality control and asset condition assessment.
The facility also supports equipment demonstrations, client training and the development of enhanced test procedures in collaboration with our technical partners, ensuring that clients benefit from both reliable results and continuous innovation.
