The Department of Civil Engineering at TOMS College of Engineering has state of the art laboratories in all thrust areas. The Department proudly owns a highly advanced laboratories sufficiently equipped with all latest equipments. Lab is designed keeping in mind the need for practical exposure and skill training of young minds in their chosen field of study. Top class laboratories are essential for developing job oriented industrial accepted new generation engineers.Highly qualified and trained professionals helps in giving proper guidance to students.
The laboratories that come under the Department of Civil Engineering are
Geotechnical Engineering is the study of applications of principles of soil and rock mechanics to real-world problems and is a relatively young field of Civil Engineering. The purpose of testing soils laboratories is to provide an opportunity to the students to work with various types of soils with the objective of identifying the soils by performing index property tests such as visual identification, moisture content, Atterberg Limits and grain-size distribution, and understanding the behaviour of typical soils by performing laboratory tests such as permeability test, unconfined compression test, compaction test etc.

The objective of the Material Testing Lab- I is to demonstrate the basic principles in the area of strength and mechanics of materials and structural analysis to the undergraduate students through a series of experiments. In this lab the experiments are performed to measure the properties of the materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, ductility etc.
List of Experiments
Material Testing Lab-II enables students to carry various experiments regarding compressive strength of concrete, tensile strength of concrete, workability test, design mix, modulus of rupture of concrete. All these experiments intended to determine the quality of concrete.

Surveying is the means of determining the relative position of points and the relative distances. It is an integral part of Civil Engineering education and training. The objective of surveying laboratory is to make student familiar and competent enough to draw map in suitable scale by using different surveying instruments. Our surveying lab provide students with hands-on experience using common surveying equipment.
