ISO 17025-accredited geotechnical lab in Genoa, Italy, providing reliable soil and rock testing, including dynamic and offshore tests for infrastructure, energy, and civil engineering projects worldwide
Our two geotechnical laboratories for soil and rock testing in Genoa, Italy, provide high-quality laboratory services to support civil engineering, energy and offshore projects worldwide.
Our geotechnical laboratory testing capabilities range from standard soil and rock tests for site investigations to advanced dynamic and cyclic testing required for complex onshore and offshore developments.
All laboratory testing activities are carried out in accordance with UNI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 (Laboratory No. 02015 – Testing) and internationally recognized standards. This accreditation confirms RINA’s technical competence, impartiality and reliability in delivering traceable and defensible geotechnical test results for engineering design, verification and risk management.
We provide a comprehensive range of geotechnical laboratory testing services to support infrastructure, oil & gas and renewable energy projects. Our laboratories are equipped to perform standard, advanced and specialized soil and rock testing, fully compliant with ASTM, ISO and EN standards, ensuring reliable parameters for geotechnical design and analysis.
Our soil mechanics laboratories perform tests to determine shear strength, compressibility, density, consolidation and dynamic behaviour of soils, including:
Our rock mechanics testing services support the assessment of rock strength, deformability and abrasiveness, including:
For challenging geotechnical conditions, we offer advanced laboratory testing, including:
We deliver flexible geotechnical laboratory testing solutions, available in our laboratories in Genoa, at client facilities, or offshore through containerized laboratories certified for offshore use.
A key differentiator is the integration between laboratory testing and geotechnical engineering expertise. Continuous interaction between laboratory specialists and RINA engineers ensures that test results are directly applicable to design, verification and performance-based assessment.
With a strong focus on quality, independence and innovation, our geotechnical laboratory is a trusted partner for reliable data supporting complex engineering projects worldwide.
