Facilities

BRS has a cooperative linkage with the Construction Materials and Structures Laboratory (CoMSLab) of the Institute of Civil Engineering, University of the Philippines Diliman. Our testing facilities have been moved to the Institute of Civil Engineering located at Pardo de Tavera St., Institute of Civil Engineering Building, UP Diliman Campus, Quezon City.

CoMSLab has testing facilities for cement, concrete, soils, aggregates, masonry and other related materials. Field equipment for testing geotechnical properties, such as cone penetrometer, is also available.
