Dear Sir,
We take pleasure in introducing our organization viz. OMEGA INSPECTION & ANALYTICAL
LABORATORY (OIAL), a centre for civil engineering advisory services and also a fully equipped
building material testing laboratory centrally located at Guindy, Chennai. Our Laboratory is certified by
ISO 9001: 2000 for Chemical, Mechanical & Non-Destructive Testing of all engineering fields. The
Laboratory has been existing since 24 years. We are pleased to inform you that we are accredited by
NABL (National Accreditation board for testing and calibration laboratories as per ISO/IEC
17025:2005).

OIAL is managed by a group of highly qualified and experienced Technical personnel, who have worked
in well-known Research and Engineering Organizations. In addition, OIAL has a dedicated group of
Technical Advisors who are experts in the field of Civil Engineering Advisory and Consultancy Services.

OIAL has established this state of the art laboratory in the vicinity of real estate growth to help the
construction industry to proceed ahead with construction as per their schedule without sacrificing the
quality, particularly with the materials used in the construction. This laboratory is also apt for construction
agencies adopting fast track construction methods, where of test results are required to satisfy the stringent
requirements of quality control enforced by the clients.

OIAL laboratory has all the facilities to conduct tests on all types of building materials like concrete
cubes, concrete cores, cement, reinforcing steel, structural steel, bricks, hollow & solid blocks, pavers,
aggregates,water,tiles,wood,aluminum,ferrous&nonferrous,Bitumen,Wood,Doors,Shutters,Rubber,Plastic,
Paint etc with care, efficiency and affordable testing charges.

OIAL will be glad to offer its services to your esteemed organization involved in prestigious projects in
Chennai or anywhere in India in any area of our specialization. We request you to kindly advice your
colleagues, technical staff and construction contracting agencies to utilize our services henceforth. We
seek your patronization.

Assuring you of our best services at all the times

Thanking You
Yours faithfully
for Omega Inspection & Analytical Laboratory.,
