Laboratory & equipment

The LEGEC laboratory.

Soils, aggregates, concrete and water: tests carried out to ASTM and NF standards, in the field with our mobile laboratory and in the laboratory.

Live from the lab
At the heart of our studies

Precision, down to the gram.

A geotechnical report is only as good as its tests. At the LEGEC laboratory, every sample taken in the field is identified, prepared, weighed and tested to ASTM and NF standards, and its results are recorded in a test report.

It is this rigour that allows our engineers to recommend the right foundation, the right material or the right solution — with no guesswork.

  • ASTM & NF standards
    Every test follows a standardised protocol.
  • Traceable test reports
    Every result is documented and archived.
  • Mobile laboratory
    Initial tests are carried out directly on site.
