Technology Division - Civil & Structural Section
 



Introduction
This Division covers a wide range of technical disciplines, including soil and rock mechanics, foundation engineering, pavement and materials engineering, structure retrofitting technology, terrain and natural hazard evaluations, contamination assessment and remediation, engineering geology, hydrogeology, soft-ground engineering, and tunnel engineering.





Concrete Repair
Concrete buildings and structures have a limited design lifespan. The structures deteriorate with time. If a decision is made to preserve the structure, then concrete repair is necessary. At CPG Labs, we provide a full range of repair consultancy services including visual inspection, design examination, in-situ non-destructive testing, laboratory testing, interpretations of results, repair techniques recommendations, repair materials and repair methods.





Bridge Dynamic Analysis
Dynamic analysis is an important tool for determining the condition of bridges. CPG Labs performs bridge dynamic analysis with the application of finite element analysis and actual site data gathering. The results from such analysis enables us to understand the fundamental response of a bridge and the effect of various structural modifications on its behaviour and safety.

To provide for the reliable assessment of bridge behaviour and ensure the continued integrity of the structure, we are able to provide consultancy services to formulate systematic ways of determining the vibration characteristics of a bridge and its interaction with traffic.





Soil Reinforcement
The science of soil reinforcement dates back to the Egyptians, who used reeds to strengthen soil masses. The same problems the Egyptians faced 2,000 years ago still exist today. But the problems are much bigger and reeds are not the answer.

New materials and construction methodologies have been developed over the years. At CPG Labs, we are able to provide consultancy and testing services on the type of reinforcement most suited for the site as well as the methods to employ.






Foundation Engineering
The most robust foundation may not be the most economical foundation. Soil conditions very much dictates the type of foundation used under the structure. Specialists from the technology division in CPG Labs are able to provide detailed analysis of the ground conditions and give recommendation on the best choices of foundations to use.





Water Resource Engineering
The scarcity of fresh water makes water resource engineering a vital discipline of civil engineering. Much loss of fresh water in the world is due to poor water management and contamination. With proper management of water, we can actually reduce this water loss and ensure ample supply of water in the future.

The technology division of CPG Labs offers various consultancy and testing services in this area. Our services include groundwater analysis, drinking water analysis, treatment processes, conservation, environmental hydraulics, drainage and hydraulic filtration.
