Enco Laboratory has been awared ministerial autorisations and the accreditation of public and ministerial bodies.    


The Enco Laboratory of Materials Testing is equipped to carry out tests on construction materials used in architecture, and civil and building engineering.
The adjacent photograph shows our equipment for the measurement of the static elastic modulus of concrete.  

  Compositional examination of a material by means of thermo-gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis.
Measurement of the permeability of concrete using water penetration under pressure.  

  Testing the adhesion of a coating on a concrete substrate.
Study of the characteristics of aggregates.  

  Tests on concrete reinforced with FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer).
Continuous measurement of temperature using an analogue recorder.  

  Apparatus for pH measurement equipped with a system for temperature-compensation.

In additio to the standard test listed in the section Test prices, we have designed non-codified tests such as, for example, those intended for the study of the long-term behaviour of concrete (accelerated carbonation): for the assessment of the behaviour of mortats for restoration under particularly hostile and aggressive conditions; for the refinement of high-performance construction materials; for the mix-design of specialised concretes.  


The laboratory can therefore be used to carry out tests according to the price list on request, or to undertake a research programme to develop a new technology, or also to support Enco consultancy advice.
