The Civil Engineering Department offer the following laboratories:

1. MATERIAL TESTING LABORATORY I

The testing of materials is the backbone of Civil Engineering, which ensures the strength, reliability, and safety of structures that shape our cities and civil engineers as well as construction professionals rely on various testing methods to assess the properties of different materials. The Material Testing Lab I demonstrates the basic principles in the area of strength and mechanics of materials and structural analysis to the students through a series of experiments. In this lab experiments are performed to measure the properties of the materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, ductility etc.

2. MATERIAL TESTING LABORATORY II

The Material Testing Laboratory II includes experimental studies on different types of materials that are used in concrete and testing of concrete specimens in various exposure conditions. This lab is of utmost importance for a Civil Engineering student as it deals with the testing of various construction materials such as cement, concrete (both fresh and hardened), tiles, bricks etc. thus determining the viability of materials in a particular project.

3. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY

The Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory is well-established and equipped to conduct soil tests, to determine soil properties and to classify soil. The students are being trained in the area of evaluating soils and identifying their physical, index, and engineering characteristics, which enables them to guarantee a strong, stable foundation for a construction that endures. This lab guides the students to conduct the tests that cater for the needs of consultancy requirements, research testing for student’s project and faculty.

4. TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING LABORATORY

The Transportation Engineering Laboratory is well equipped to conduct all the standardized tests to assess the quality of highway materials, pavement evaluation, and traffic engineering studies through the testing of bitumen, aggregate and bituminous mixture and confirm the material requirement as per relevant standards. This laboratory course will help the students to understand the theoretical concepts learned in the course transportation engineering.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY

The Laboratory has all the state-of-the-art facilities for conducting various tests to determine the quality of potable and wastewater. The undergraduate students are encouraged to take up topics in the field of Environmental Engineering for their project work by making use of facilities available in the laboratory.

6. SURVEYING LABORATORY

The Surveying Laboratory is equipped with various instruments and tools that are used by students throughout the surveying course. The laboratory provides basic and advanced knowledge, as well as hands-on experience in the usage of various surveying and levelling instruments. Students learn techniques for gathering field data with conventional as well as contemporary methods and equipment. The laboratory is equipped with instruments such as electronic theodolite, total station, automatic level, levelling staves, range pole, prism with pole, aluminium tripod, and many more. The laboratory is designed to help students learn how to use surveying equipment and gain practical experience in the field.

7. CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKSHOP

Civil Engineering workshop serves as the first step in gaining an understanding of the possibilities in Civil Engineering. The newly admitted students are given a hands-on introduction to the fundamental ideas of civil engineering through the planning of a building, computing the area and volume of various building components, building walls etc.

8. COMPUTER  AIDED DESIGN LABORATORY

The Computer Aided Design Laboratory is intended to provide professional training for students in 2D and 3D drafting of Civil Engineering designs, construction management portfolios, modelling, analysis & design of structures, 3D modelling, and construction management through computer facilities with the latest versions of licensed software such as Revit, Naviswork, ANSYS, STAAD Pro.V8i, AutoCAD, and MSP. The laboratory is equipped with well-performing computers for research, teaching and conducting value-added courses. The lab facilitates the practicals for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
