Quality Control for the new subway extension of Line 9. More than
400 types of Material Tests will be executed in SGS’s laboratory in
Madrid.
SGS Performs Materials Testing and Quality Control for the Subway Extension in Madrid(firmenpresse) - Since the first line opened in 1919 in Madrid, steady expansion
of the metro system has taken place. For the new subway
extension of Line 9, which connects Madrid with Mirasierry by
three kilometers, including two new stations, SGS Spain
received a contract to conduct independent inspection and
quality control of the materials used.
In January 2010, SGS started with its inspection services and
quality control encompassing more than 400 types of material
tests. SGS will be testing almost every kind of construction
material involved in this subway extension project, including
cement, concrete works, bitumen and rails in order to ensure
the quality of the construction works. The Material Tests will be
performed on-site as well as carried out in SGS’s civil
construction laboratory in Madrid.
The Material Tests by SGS Spain are performed in accordance
with the Spanish UNE code as well as the regulations of
RENFE, the Spanish public railway company. By the end of
October 2011, the inspection work by SGS will be completed.
When clients demand testing by an independent inspection
organization, advice on quality of the materials and information
on the requirements for import and export of construction
materials, SGS´s Construction Materials Testing laboratories
are always the first choice.
SGS, with more than 1,000 laboratories in the world, conduct
Material Tests in order to control material characteristics, such
as such as tensile strength, compressive strength, bending
strength, aging characters or chemical composition.

Group, carrying out not only Material Testing services but
helping clients from the Construction Industry to reduce risk,
prevent construction errors, control budgets and effectively keep
