Afghan Soil Construction Materials Testing Laboratories

Afghan-Soil Engineering Company established by Civil Engineers with backgrounds in various aspects of Civil Engineering, i.e. design, construction and quality control of roads, bridges, Geo technical Soil Investigation, laboratory testing, Architecture and Structure Design and Detailing. The experience of the above Engineers was varying between nine to ten years in this field. The main reason for

establishing this company was the potentials that existed in Afghanistan for professional Companies, as most of the existing companies both in design and construction were very weak in every aspect, and most of them even not qualified Engineers. Very few of these companies have Engineers who are familiar with English and this is a major reason for their poor quality works as they do not fully understand the technical specification. This also results in wrong cost estimates, the construction not being in accordance with the specifications and financial claims. This potential in the market triggered the idea of establishing an Engineering Company who could provide services to the international standards in Afghanistan. The advantage of this Company over other foreign companies in Afghanistan is that the Engineers are familiar with the environment understand Dari, Pashto and English, and have worked in Afghanistan and European countries. Hard work and patience has been the major success of the members of the Board of Directors who has also financed the company.
