Construction Testing And Inspection Will Soon Be Held To a Higher Standard By The Cambodian Board Of Engineers

Compass Cambodia report, August 9 - The Board of Engineers of Cambodia (BEC) and Singapore's CAST Laboratories Pte Ltd have formed a public-private collaboration that will soon bring Cambodia's real estate and construction sector up to par with Singapore's and other progressive Asian countries.

The Board of Engineers, Cambodia Laboratory was founded by a collaboration between BEC and Cast Laboratories (BECL). The Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training gave the joint venture a 30-year operating permit earlier this month.

CAST Laboratories, founded in 1981 in Singapore, has developed to become one of Southeast Asia's leading testing laboratories. In Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries in the area, the organization currently offers more than 250 specialized testing and inspection services.

A broad list of high-end enterprises in the construction, oil, gas, and shipyard industries are among its clients. Cast Laboratories has been in Cambodia for six years. BECL will address the Kingdom's shortage of high-quality testing and inspection facilities. Previously, Cambodian property developers had to rely on foreign corporations to complete their projects. With the increasing rise of the local property sector, the need for such facilities become even more urgent. BECL will roll out a complete package of product testing, verification, inspection, and certification services in Cambodia in phases. These will begin with civil engineering materials testing, which will entail, among other things, soil sample and concrete non-destructive investigation.

BECL's establishment is considered as vital to Cambodia's building sector becoming safer and more high-end.

Poor building frequently results in disasters, such as the January 3, 2020 collapse of a seven-story hotel under construction in Kep province, which killed 36 people and injured another 23.

BECL, according to corporate insiders, will assist in ensuring the quality and integrity of Cambodia's construction projects.
