The Soil Mechanics Laboratory

The Soil Mechanics Laboratory Division of PT Geo Labora Indonesia is a technical service unit that provides testing of the physical, mechanical, and hydraulic properties of soils and construction materials to support geotechnical activities, mine design, and mining operations. With standardized laboratory facilities and competent specialists, PT Geo Labora Indonesia is committed to delivering accurate, precise, and accountable geotechnical and material data as a foundation for technical planning in the mining and infrastructure sectors. All testing is performed in accordance with ASTM, AASHTO, and mining technical guidelines to ensure consistent, high-quality results that meet design requirements.

Our laboratory services play a critical role in establishing geotechnical parameters for slope stability analysis, embankment and fill design, soil bearing capacity assessment, construction material quality valuation, and geotechnical risk management in mining operations. Supported by modern equipment and a structured quality control system, our testing results provide a reliable basis for technical decision-making at every stage of geotechnical and mining projects.
