Soil Testing & Geotechnical Investigation – NABL Accredited Lab
ADS Labtech was established in 2014 with a single, clear purpose: to provide the construction and engineering industry with testing services that are accurate, timely, and trusted. Headquartered at Sahibabad Industrial Area, Site-IV, Ghaziabad – at the heart of NCR’s infrastructure corridor — our laboratory has grown into one of the region’s most respected NABL accredited testing facilities.

Who Needs Geotechnical Investigation?
- Highway & expressway projects — CBR and compaction testing at each layer
- Bridge & ROB projects — deep foundation design requires SPT data
- Residential & commercial buildings — foundation type depends on soil bearing capacity
- Industrial plants — heavy equipment foundations need consolidation data
- Railway projects — embankment design and track bed preparation
- Land development projects — soil classification for plotting layouts
