Located in the city of Calama since 2014, it offers customers a control and traceability system via web, which allows each customer to track their samples online. It has a wide variety of automated equipment, which ensures high precision measurements, under ASTM quality standards.

The laboratory facilities offer the following tests:

1. Unit weight – dry condition (rectification of samples – geometric measurements).
2. Sample preparation from cores and collapses.
3. Apparent or relative density (kerosene) ultrasonic velocity (Vp/Vs).
4. Hardness tests (Equotip).
5. Porosity – Humidity.
6. Pre – Post ruptura photography.

1. Uniaxial compression (simple) UCS (with/without deformation modulus).
2. Triaxial compression (with/without deformation modulus).
3. Direct shear in rock structures (Hoek cell) in collpas and/or cores.
4. Indirect traction (Basilean test.
5. Point Load Index (PLT).
6. Dynamic modulus of elasticity.
