Construction laboratory

TYPSA Group’s subsidiary, INTEMAC, operates a laboratory focused on delivering a complete range of construction services. Endorsed by over 50 years’ experience, the lab is accredited by Spain’s official National Accreditation body, ENAC (technical annex No 25 LE 039).

The Laboratory has the capacity to carry out all kinds of tests to characterise and evaluate materials and structural components. Services are provided to manufacturers of both specialised and more common construction products, such as cement, aggregates, steel, mortars, concrete, prefabricated materials, ceramics and stone, as well as to construction companies, owners, technologists and specifiers who need to verify the quality, life cycle or durability of these products.

In addition, the INTEMAC lab is equipped for soil and rock mechanics testing and has an expert team of geologists and engineers to conduct highly complex geotechnical studies. Portable non-destructive testing equipment enables the team to carry out tests anywhere in the world, supporting forensic engineering and building pathology work where needed.
