Civil Material Testing – Lonestar Alpha Lab

CIVIL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING

Our Civil Engineering department is the leading laboratory in the country with a wide range of testing facilities which includes Physical, Mechanical and Chemical testing. We operate in all four locations Muscat, Sohar, Duqm, Nizwa and Salalah along with 50 site-based laboratories established and covering services which include all Construction Material testing, Certification, Structural investigation and Field testing across the country. We are also one of a few labs in Oman with Nuclear density gauge (NDG).
