The institution has taken part in the testing of many landmark buildings and infrastructure projects, serving residential and commercial real estate, municipal transport, rail transit, industrial plants and the renovation of existing buildings.

Domestic Project

Road Defect & Void Detection on an Urban Sub-district Road

Traffic loading and leakage from underground pipe networks cause subgrade settlement and pavement damage during service, and in severe cases road collapse — while underground voids cannot be found by eye. The project used ground-penetrating radar to carry out a non-destructive “diagnosis” of roads in the district and screen for void hazards.

Domestic Project

The project has a total floor area of about 730,000 m² and a total land area of about 31 ha, comprising 35 18-storey and 2 17-storey high-rise residential buildings with 3,660 homes in total, plus a kindergarten, a farmers' market and a community health station. Building settlement observation was carried out during construction.

Domestic Project

Main Structure Quality & Safety Testing for Block 2-A of a Yellow Rice Wine Industrial Park

The project has a total land area of about 73 ha and a total investment of about RMB 5.73 billion, implemented in two phases with about 28.7 ha in phase one. At full capacity it will produce 100 million litres of premium yellow rice wine a year and bottle 120 million litres of small-package yellow rice wine a year. Main structure quality and safety testing was carried out for block 2-A.

Domestic Project

Structural Safety Appraisal of the Factory Buildings of a Motorcycle Manufacturer
