SOIL AND ROCK

Soil is the loose surface material that covers most land. It consists of inorganic particles and organic matter. Soil provides the structural support to plants used in agriculture and is also their source of water and nutrients. Soils vary greatly in their chemical and physical properties. Indian Testing Laboratory has a vast and rich experience when it comes to conducting various tests on soil and also carrying out soil investigation studies. Our soil testing laboratory is equipped with state of the art instrument to various soil characterizing activities.
