ExcelPlas Labs offer an unrivalled testing service of Geosynthetic Barriers, both polymeric (geomembranes) and geocomposite (geosynthetic clay liners and geosynthetic cementitious liners), to manufacturers, consulting engineers, installers and landfill operators among others.  We are able to perform a wide range of tests.  The tests are coordinated and carried out by our qualified technical staff.

ExcelPlas is Australia’s leading laboratory for testing geosynthetic materials and was the first laboratory here to be NATA accredited for many geosynthetic tests.  Excelplas holds accreditation to ISO 17025 for an extensive range of geosynthetic tests, and offers opinions and interpretations.

We can test your materials to Australian, ASTM and ISO Standards.  We can also assist by formatting your product data and specifications so they conform to Australian Consulting Engineering standards.
