Lab Facilities

Excellent infrastructure is provided for the academic betterment of our students. To substantiate theoretical expressions, Al-Azhar has established modern laboratories that comply with the KTU regulations. The equipment, specimen and technical facilities in the lab create a superior ambience for the students to conduct experiments.

Transportation Engineering Lab

For the design and construction of highways and airfield, it is imperative to carry out tests on construction materials for their scientific designing and economic utilization. The prime objective of the different tests in use is to know and classify the pavement material into different group depending upon their physical, strength or stability characteristics.

Geotechnical Engineering Lab

Testing of soil is an integral part of geotechnical engineering. A proper evaluation of soil samples and analysis of test results are essential.

Surveying Lab

The surveying laboratory enables students to understand and practice the basic principles of surveying by conducting field experiments using a wide spectrum of surveying equipment. This laboratory covers data collection methods including surveying, profile levelling, contouring, compass traversing, laying out of curves, base line measurement and triangulation.

Fluid Mechanics Lab

A basic knowledge of Fluid mechanics and machinery is essential for the engineers because they frequently come across a variety of problems involving flow of fluids such as in force of fluid on structures, fluid transport. This fluid mechanics lab helps to understand these physical processes more closely.

Material Testing Lab

The testing and inspection of concrete and aggregates are important elements in obtaining quality construction. The laboratory allows students to assess the various properties of concrete that may affect the performance of concrete members. Also, the material testing lab provides the knowledge of hardness of steel, tensile strength of rods used in construction.

Environmental Engineering Lab

The Environmental engineering laboratory practical provides good insight into different experimental methods relevant to environmental engineering. In this lab we performs various test on drinking water and sewage samples to check pH value , total dissolved values, BOD, COD, total suspended particles etc. as per BIS standards. It helps in to assess the water quality standard of the region, pollution load in sewage and working efficiency of sewage and other water treatment unit.
