Laboratory Accreditation Progrem for Geosynthetics

Tests performed by the geosynthetics laboratory include both standard and specialized procedures for determination of physical and engineering properties of geosynthetics. All laboratory staff receive test performance training based on American Standards for Testing Materials (ASTM), Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute (GAI). Geosynthetics laboratory must have an accredited through the Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute-Laboratory Accreditation Program (GAI-LAP).
