Admaterials Technologies is part of UK-based laboratory-based testing company Exova Group, which was recently purchased by Element Materials Technology to develop one global testing services partner.
The project team will work from the company’s main laboratory and an on-site laboratory to carry out all testing related to the airport's third runway development.
The testing relates to soil, cement-treated base, concrete and steel bar materials, aggregate and in-situ density, in addition to nuclear density gauge and sand replacement and non-destructive testing.
Element Materials Technology infrastructure and environmental executive vice-president Matt Davies said: “Our Singapore laboratory has played an integral role in many facets of the Changi Airport construction project, and we are pleased to have secured a contract with Hock Lian Seng – Sembcorp JV for this phase of work.
