The laboratory is also equipped with state-of-the-art research instruments. The instrumentation facilities available in the lab are:

Triaxial System coupled with Flexible Wall Permeameter: useful for determining the hydraulic conductivity, shear strength characteristics, soil-contaminant interaction studies, volume change behavior of soils

Zeta Potential cum Particle Size Analyzer: measures zeta potential ranging from ±200 mV; determines particle size range from 0.3 nm to 5 mm;electrophoresis, Ionic mobility, etc

Thermal Imaging Camera:

Impedance Analyzer:frequency-0.3 mHz to 40 MHz; can be used for determining the electrical properties of soil and geomaterials, for modeling flow of AC current in soils, for characterizing the contaminated soils, etc.

Dew Point Potentiameter, WP4: Useful for measuring the soil suction up to 300 MP; useful to establish water retention properties (SWCC) of a soil, waste or agricultural materials
