What We Do

Every construction material, tested under one roof

From the first borehole on site to the final tile on the wall — we test concrete, asphalt, soil, cement, rebar, aggregate, polyethylene, tiles, curbstone, chemical aggressivity and much more.

Geotechnical Investigation

Site investigation, borehole drilling, SPT and sampling for foundations, retaining walls and slope stability studies.

Borehole Logging SPT Sampling

Concrete Testing

Cube crushing, cylinder testing, JMD concrete, slump, density, air content and full mix-design verification to ASTM and Iraqi standards.

Cube Crushing JMD Slump Mix Design

Asphalt & Bitumen

Marshall stability, GMD asphalt, bitumen extraction and recovery, penetration, softening point, and full volumetric analysis.

Marshall GMD Extraction

Soil Mechanics

Classification, Atterberg limits, Proctor compaction, consolidation, direct shear, triaxial, CBR and full grain-size distribution.

Atterberg Proctor Triaxial CBR

Cement, Rebar & Steel

Cement physical and chemical testing, rebar tensile and bend tests, and reinforcement quality verification.

Cement Rebar Tensile

Tiles, Curbstone & Finishes

Tile dimensional and flexural testing, curbstone compressive strength, water absorption, and finish quality control.

Tiles Curbstone Absorption

Polyethylene & Geosynthetics

HDPE and polyethylene pipe, membrane and geosynthetic testing for thickness, density, tensile strength and weld quality.

Polyethylene Geosynthetics Weld Test

Chemical & Corrosion Testing

Sulphate, chloride, pH, total dissolved solids and organic content — critical for concrete durability and steel corrosion protection.

Sulphate Chloride pH

Core Cutting & Concrete Cores

On-site core extraction and compressive strength testing of hardened concrete cores for existing structures and quality audits.

About the Laboratory

Four decades of accurate testing.

For over forty years, Slemani Construction Laboratory has supported construction projects across the Kurdistan Region and Iraq. Our engineers, chemists and lab technicians work to internationally recognised standards, using calibrated equipment and rigorous quality-control procedures. We have completed more than one million tests for over ten thousand clients — from single-site residential builds to national infrastructure.

Accredited methodology Every test follows the relevant ASTM, BS or Iraqi standard, and results are traceable to calibrated reference equipment.
End-to-end investigation From drilling the first borehole on site to the final signed geotechnical report, everything happens under our roof.
Digital, verifiable reports Every issued report carries a QR-code verification link that confirms its authenticity on our public page — no login required.
Full materials scope Soil, concrete, asphalt, cement, rebar, aggregates, tiles, stone, blocks, polyethylene, water and chemical testing — one laboratory for everything.

Standards & Quality

Built around international testing standards

Our laboratory works to the same standards you'll find on construction sites in Europe, the Gulf and North America.

ASTM · BS · Iraqi Standards

Every soil, concrete, asphalt and materials test follows the relevant ASTM, British Standard, or Iraqi Standard (IS) method — whichever the project specification requires.

Calibrated Equipment

All instruments are regularly serviced and calibrated, with full traceability records on file.

Independent & Impartial

We have no commercial interest in your project beyond delivering accurate, defensible results.

Verifiable Reports

Every report is QR-stamped. Authorities and clients can verify authenticity with a phone scan.

Fast Turnaround

Standard tests are typically reported within 1–5 working days, with expedited options available.

Experienced Team

Geotechnical engineers, chemists and technicians who understand what happens on a real construction site.
