Fugro has opened a new geotechnical testing laboratory in Jakarta, Indonesia, enhancing its regional capabilities for energy and infrastructure projects.
The new facility increases Fugro’s lab capacity in Asia Pacific by 20% and aims to cut testing turnaround times by 30%.
The lab, spanning 550 m² with more than 30 testing stations, will employ more than 120 Indonesian staff, including 40 geotechnical engineers and technicians. It is accredited to ASTM and ISO 17892 standards.
“By having a consistent standard for geotechnical testing, supplemented with our vast global experience providing such services, we are committed to delivering high-quality geo-data that will contribute to the success of our clients' projects in the region,” said Shalu Shajahan, Fugro's regional director, marine site characterization, Asia Pacific.
With this addition, Fugro now operates four specialist offshore testing laboratories in the Asia Pacific region, including facilities in Australia, Singapore, and Taiwan.
