Quality control
Our laboratory network meets the needs of our clients in civil construction, building, industry and environment.
Throughout its more than 60 years of activity, Eptisa has become one of the main entities of quality control and environmental consulting in the Spanish market. We have participated in large projects, both in the area of civil construction and in buildings and industry, covering the entire construction process from the design phase to construction itself, reception and useful life of the works.
We have a large network of accredited laboratories in Spain, where an assurance of quality management system has been implemented that defines the procedures and inspection methods that we use in our activity. This, together with our capacity, staff, and adequate equipment, allows us to provide our clients the best possible service.
All staff working in Eptisa’s laboratories have the knowledge and practice needed to establish the different regulations governing the execution of the services we offer (UNE, EN, ISO, ASTM, etc.), which allow us to adapt and develop any type of activity regardless of location or work.
All of our offices participate in the development of new information technologies, making on-line links available to our clients with which they can obtain the information and results of tests that affect them practically in real time (Informeslab ®), increasing the efficiency of the process due to the need for immediate decision making based on the data obtained in the tests.
Beyond the technical aspects of our work, we recognise the role of our laboratories as a fundamental factor in the sustainable development of society, contributing to the improvement of infrastructure in the sector and to a greater extent to social welfare in the countries where we work.
