SCHEDULE OF SERVICES PROVIDED

SUBSURFACE SOIL INVESTIGATION

ASTEC carried out soil investigation for numerous government and private projects (i.e., Buildings, Site Development, Warehouses, Bridges, Elevated Water Tanks & Slipways) for the soil analysis and engineering properties of the soil for bearing capacity, appropriate type of foundation and other geotechnical engineering requirements.

Plate Load Test

Hardened Concrete Compression Test

ASTEC has eleven (11) modern microprocessor controlled compression testing machines which have force capacities ranging from 1500 kN to 3000kN. Matest cybertronics were installed to enable witnessing party to view the result and actual load rate in a large display.

Three-Edge Bearing Test of Concrete Pipes

ASTEC has carried out three-edge bearing and absorption test of reinforced concrete pipes for numerous private and government projects. We have the capacity to test samples ranging from 152mm to 2100mm diameter class I to V; Wall A, B, C.

Concrete Coring

ASTEC has carried out concrete coring for numerous prestigious projects. We have the capability to core samples ranging from 20mm to 254mm diameter.

Rebound Hammer Test


ASTEC has carried out Rebound number of hardened concrete for private and government projects. This test method is applicable to assess the in-place uniformity of concrete, to delineate regions in a structure of poor quality or deteriorated concrete, and to estimate in-place strength development.

Structural Load Test


Quality Test of Soil & Aggregates


Tensile Test of Steel Materials

ASTEC has carried out tensile & bending test of steel materials for private and government projects. We have the capacity to test samples ranging to 6mm to 45mm diameter, Grade 33 to Grade 60.

Field Density Test

ASTEC has carried out density and unit weight of soil in-place by sand cone method conforming to ASTM D-1556 & AASHTO T-191

Verification / Calibration of Testing Equipment

ASTEC / SCHOTTEL Engineering Services is accredited by the Bureau of Research and Standards of the DPWH to meet your calibration requirements. Our company can calibrate compression machines, Rebound Hammer Apparatus and balances.
