Civil Engineering Workshop

Location/Room Number: CL 0-001

The civil engineering workshop offers students hands-on exposure to the skills related to the civil engineering domain in the first year of engineering studies. The course is included in semester I of the current curriculum and is offered to students of both civil engineering and mechanical engineering branches. The workshop provides practical experience through exercises such as field area measurement, setting out, plumbing, brick masonry and levelling practices.

Material Testing Laboratory

Location/Room Number: CL-0-002

The testing and inspection of basic building materials such as cement, aggregates, concrete, and steel are essential components of quality construction. This laboratory is intended to carry out various tests to evaluate their properties. The laboratory equipment is used to assess the quality of building materials, including the plastic and hardened properties of concrete, the mechanical and elastic properties of metals, and the quality of reinforcing bars. This laboratory provides testing services for concrete cubes and steel reinforcing bars using specialized equipment such as Universal Testing Machine to evaluate their strength and mechanical properties, thereby supporting the safety and durability of structures. The laboratory is also equipped to offer consultancy and testing services to State Government and private organizations.

Surveying Laboratory

Location/Room Number: NB-011

This laboratory is intended to conduct a foundational practical course in Land Surveying for Civil Engineering students and is offered in the third semester as per the curriculum. The laboratory provides facilities for carrying out surveying exercises and field-based surveying practices. In addition to academic requirements, the laboratory has also the capability to undertake land and field surveying as consultancy services.

Environmental Engineering Laboratory
