Chemical Analysis of Soil and Water in Makkah
Wadi deposits in Makkah can contain elevated sulfate and chloride concentrations from ancient geochemical processes, particularly in major wadis. ASAS Lab provides full chemical analysis including dissolved sulfates (SO₄²⁻) per BS 8500 aggressiveness classification, chloride content affecting rebar corrosion, pH of groundwater, and electrical conductivity. We issue recommendations for cement type (SRPC or pozzolanic), concrete cover, and foundation waterproofing based on chemical findings.

FAQ About Chemical Analysis
Aggressive soil rich in sulfates or chlorides reacts with cement and steel, causing early structural deterioration. SBC 303 mandates chemical analysis in areas with saline soil or near brackish groundwater.
