Our Story

Pakistan’s Most Trusted Materials Testing Heritage

With roots tracing back to the Geo Tech Lab FWO in Chaklala during the construction of the Karakoram Highway, we are recognized as one of Pakistan’s oldest and most trusted construction materials testing laboratories.

In 2006, the facility was integrated into the Construction Technology Training Institute, Islamabad, creating a unique bridge between industrial-grade testing and advanced technical education.
