CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS LABORATORY
There has always been, and there will always be, a need to test products and materials to prevent disasters. Materials used in construction projects have to meet regulations and standards regarding their quality. Compliance with these standards is often mandatory and requires testing of the materials by an independent third party. ARREBAT is committed to provide timely and reliable construction-materials observation, testing, and inspection services.
