Profile
Who We Are
IMM SOIL SDN BHD was incorporated in April 2013 and is a Joint Venture between IMM SA (ISO/IEC 17025 Swiss firm) and SOIL INSTRUMENTS (M) SDN. BHD. (ISO/IEC 17025 Malaysian firm).
We are specialized experts in testing and consulting on cementitious materials, concrete structures and rigid and flexible pavements. In April 2016 we achieved our accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 – SAMM No. 767.
Our goal is to provide our clients with a professional and technically sound support in all steps of construction:
Design
optimization of service life, numerical modeling, performance based specifications
Pre-bidding phase
understanding technical specifications and optimizing offers based on most technical/economical solutions
Construction
advanced durability testing, expertise and technical support for pours sequencing, water tight construction, durability in severe environments
In service
condition survey, NDT, evaluation of residual service life
Our Team
Our team is comprised by young, motivated though experienced Professional Engineers (civil, materials and corrosion specialists) and Senior Laboratory Technicians merging professional experience from challenging major infrastructure projects in Europe, South America, Africa, Middle East and Asia both from the point of view of the Contractor and the Engineer/Designer.
We also can provide a network of professional international consultants in different fields of materials technology granting us a problem solving capability in virtually all fields of materials technology.
Our expertise can be therefore highly technical but also highly practical at the same time and with a strongly oriented problem solving attitude in the shortest time possible because in no other field more than construction “time is money”.
