Quality Control Unit
In order to confirm the quality of the engineering works carried out in the North Central Province, the Kekirawa Construction Materials Laboratory has been established in the Provincial Engineering Department. This unit checks the condition of the raw materials (soil, sand, stone, cement, iron, aluminum...) used in the construction industry, and checks their condition during and after construction. At present, it is possible to perform the following tests in accordance with various standards.

1. | Partical size distribution (Earth) |
2. | Partical size distribution (Metal, Sand, ABC) |
3. | Field density test |
4. | Consistency limits (LL,PL) |
5. | Standard proctor compaction test |
6. | Modified proctor compaction test |
7. | California Bearing Ratio test |
