MTS structural actuators are servo-hydraulic cylinders that generate controlled mechanical forces for static, dynamic, and fatigue testing of materials and structures.

The MTS Landmark 100 kN test system (typically Model 370.10) is a floor-standing servo-hydraulic materials and component testing machine designed to apply controlled mechanical loads up to 100 kN (

500 kN system is a servo-hydraulic materials and component testing machine capable of applying controlled forces up to 500 kN (≈110 kip) for engineering tests.

Used to assess the properties of materials, such as rock and concrete, under high strain rate.

To study the time dependent material behavior of rock & concrete

For the purpose of monitoring the sound/noise level, vibrations, and air overpressure that are associated with the construction and blasting.

Compound upright microscope with for qualitative and quantitative

To study the Elevated temperature tests on geosynthetics with non contact measurements.

The Frames and the Controllers associated with this are used for Various compression tests, and Flexure tests on Cement, Concrete, Timber, Mortar Blocks, and bricks.

Compact but powerful diamond coring machine for rig-based concrete coring from 25-202 mm (31/32 – 7-15/16") in diameter

For compaction of concrete cube cylinders. The table deck size has stops along its edges to prevent moulds from walking off the table during operation.

It is used for the preparation of Concrete Mixes

The Matest Gyrotronic Superpave Gyratory Compactor – EN replicates real field compaction to accurately assess the performance of asphalt mixtures.

The Hamburg Wheel Tracker by Matest is the most versatile device for testing rutting and moisture sensitivity of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA).

The DTS-30 Dynamic Testing System is a high-performance servo-hydraulic testing machine designed for dynamic tension and compression tests on asphalt, soil, unbound granular materials, fibres, and

These ovens are used for measuring the effect of heat and air on a moving film of semi-solid bituminous materials.

It exposes asphalt binder samples to high temperatures and pressurized air for a specific duration. This process replicates the effects of natural environmental aging that occurs in pavement
