Petrographic and Geological Services
As part of our in-house capability, Trilab provides specialist petrographic and geological and related analytical services for the construction, engineering, quarrying, mining and exploration industries.
Our niche team of geologists and technicians specialise in petrographic assessment, geochemical analysis, quarry assessment and certification, concrete analysis and engineering investigation, XRD and XRF analysis, geological field observation, environmental forensics and thin section services.
Trilab’s scientists assess concrete quality for the construction industry, incendiary risks for samples from coal mines, fire damage to concrete structures, and can identify and characterise a wide range of natural and artificial solid materials for forensics and other applications. Understanding the properties of materials helps clients make an informed decision about their products or projects.
