Forward Development …
All praise is due to Allah, giver of blessings, generosity and kindness. He says in
the Holly Book: “And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them
except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but
that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darkness of the earth and no
moist or dry (thing) but that is (written) in a clear record”. And peace and blessings
of God are on the Prophet, the messenger of knowledge and guidance to the
worlds.
The development in our beloved country, Oman, is progressing rapidly due to the strategic location of
the region, which contributed to increased huge opportunities, as well as indulging in mega projects
spanning the entire country in infrastructures, industry, tourism and several others sectors. Therefore, the
adoption of sustainable development strategy and knowledge-based economy stresses the need for more
involvement from the science and technology side. The benefits of knowledge and science can be truly
reflected, witnessed and believed when the implementation of the innovations is applied to benefit
humanity at different times and places.
With this vision in mind, Lonestar Alpha Laboratories came into existence in Oman early 2007 as a
third-party independent engineering testing and inspection services company. Since its establishment,
we have aimed that this lab be local in its identity and international in its standards and quality. Now, 4
years since establishment, Lonestar Alpha Laboratories has become the largest and most diversified lab
in Oman with several specializations including Civil testing, Geotechnical engineering, Metallurgical
testing, Environmental testing, Chemical testing, and Microbiological & Food testing. Our services are
reaching all parts of Oman through full-fledged facilities at five locations: Muscat, Sohar, Duqm,
Salalah, Buraimi and many project site-laboratories.
The lab is high-tech, multi-displanary testing and investigation facility that can deliver products on time
and can stand international scrutiny. Our expertise is made possible by our integrated team of
professionals in the field. More than 120 professional engineers, chemists, microbiologists, metallurgists
and technicians provide to clients expert laboratory analysis, testing, and inspection services. Our
dedication to provide highly accurate results, on time, and with a high degree of support makes Lonestar
Alpha one of the leading analytical labs in the country. Most importantly, we do all of this accurately,
quickly, exceptionally well, and locally within Oman.
The success of such integrated testing activities with an international dimension cannot be achieved
without the involvement of recognized international parties which have long tradition in laboratory
business and their dissemination of knowledge and experience. Lonester Alpha laboratories is in full
association with Lonestar Technical Services, a leading lab in UAE. Lonestar group companies are
certified by ISO 9001-2008 and accredited with ISO 17025:2005 which maintains a rigorous QA/QC
program, towards chain of custody, sample preparation and analysis.
Calling on the Lord Almighty to help all of us to do that which is good and righteousness; and peace,
mercy and blessings of God shall be upon all of us.

Our Civil Engineering Departments at Muscat, Sohar, Duqm, Buraimi, and Salalah covers wide range of
mechanical, physical and chemical testing of soil, aggregate, concrete, cement, asphalt, blocks, marble, tiles,
water and other Construction Materials. The lab also provides a laboratory testing support to our geotechnical
Engineering Department.
Covering Wide Areas of Oman
Observing the need to be close to the construction projects that spread all over Oman, full –fledged civil
engineering material testing labs have been established by Lonestar Alpha to cover as many regions of Oman as
possible. The presence of more local labs within each region should facilitate providing better services to our
clients and better control of work quality in such projects. Our Civil Engineering laboratories are currently
Muscat, Sohar, Duqm, Buraimi, and Salalah. In addition to these five labs, Lonestar is capable of providing site
labs for major projects that require labs at their sites.

Concrete Strength
The compressive strength of concrete is the most common performance measure used by the engineer in
designing buildings and other structures. The compressive strength is measured by breaking cylindrical (or cube)
concrete specimens in a compression-testing machine. Flexural strength is one of the tensile strength of concrete.
Tensile strength, along with elastic modulus and corrosion resistance, is another important strength parameter of
engineering materials used in structures.
Concrete Durability
While compressive strength is a good indicator of load resistance, it isn't a major indicator of concrete durability.
There is therefore a need for quick, reliable tests for concrete durability that would have to go far beyond reliance
on such standard performance measures as 28-day compressive strength. Three forms of water penetration tests
are commonly used, namely BS EN 12390/DIN 1048 Water Permeability, BS 1881 Part 208 Initial Surface
Absorption (ISAT), and BS 1881 Part 122 Water Absorption. There are two similar, modified chloride diffusion
tests, namely ASTM C1202 Chloride Penetration and AASHTO 277 Rapid Chloride Permeability. Chloride
Migration Coefficient (NTB 492) is one of the latest test method recently we added in to our system.
Soil Field Density (soil compaction)
Soil compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of soil. In construction, this is a
significant part of the building process. If performed improperly, settlement of the soil could occur and result in
unnecessary maintenance costs or structure failure. Almost all types of building sites and construction projects
utilize mechanical compaction techniques. Therefore, regular testing of soil compaction by independent
laboratories is extremely essential and important. Sand Cone Test (ASTM D1556-90) and Nuclear Density
(ASTM D2292-91) are typical field tests are performed for measuring degree of soil compaction).

Investigative Studies
It is often necessary to test concrete structures after the concrete has hardened to determine whether the structure
is suitable for its designed use. The tests available for testing concrete range from the completely non-destructive,
where there is no damage to the concrete, through those where the concrete surface is slightly damaged, to
partially destructive tests, such as core tests, where the surface has to be repaired after the test. The range of
properties that can be assessed using non-destructive tests and partially destructive tests is quite large and includes
such fundamental parameters as density, elastic modulus and strength as well as surface hardness and surface
absorption, and reinforcement location, size and distance from the surface.
Deep Foundation Testing (Piles)
Confirmation of satisfactory construction of all pile types has lead to the development of practical, inexpensive
and reliable dynamic testing techniques. Let our lab be you independent pile testing specialist. Low strain
integrity tests examine the response of a pile to a small hammer blow at the pile head. The induced stress wave
travels down the pile shaft and reflected waves from significant changes in pile shaft acoustic impedance are
registered by a transducer held against the pile head.
Asphalt & Bituminous Binder Testing
New technologies, increased construction liability, and revised building standards have made quality asphalt
testing and inspection integral to the successful completion of today’s construction projects. Lonestar Alpha
provide asphalt testing services that evaluate asphalt binders, asphalt mixtures and other derivatives of asphalt
geared for use in the construction industry.
Site Laboratories & Projects Quality Control
One of the problems which occur within the construction and civil engineering industry, is the need to test
construction materials on site. Lonestar Alpha has the full capacity to provide site laboratories for big projects.
Experienced full-time supervisors, lab technicians, and assistant technicians will be devoted to run daily testing
activities of such site labs. We can also furnish the labs with all necessary equipments and tools.

Soil Investigations
Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers to obtain information on the physical
properties of soil and rock around a site to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for
repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions. A geotechnical investigation will
include surface exploration and subsurface exploration of a site.
In-Situ geotechnical tests:
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) - in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the
properties of soil, while also collecting a disturbed soil sample for grain-size analysis and soil classification.

Cone Penetration Test (CPT) - performed using an instrumented probe with a conical tip, pushed into the
soil hydraulically at a constant rate. CPT instrument reports tip resistance and shear resistance along the
cylindrical barrel. CPT data interpretation, correlated to soil properties.
Soil sampling by variety of samplers to provide disturbed samples, relatively undisturbed samples and
undisturbed samples. Shiwel, Hand / Machine driven auger, continuous flight auger, Split-Spoon / SPT sampler,
Shelby Tube Sampler, Piston Sampler.
A wide variety of laboratory tests performed on soils to measure a wide variety of soil properties.

Groundwater Monitoring
Our geotechnical field staffs are well trained for installing Piezometers and performing groundwater monitoring.
Two types 1. Standpipe Piezometers 2. Vibrating-Wire Piezometers. Water levels is measured by water level
indicators. Pore-Water pressures can be continuously monitored using special devices attached to data loggers.
Estimating Hydraulic conductivity (or permeability) of different types of soil is the most important step in
designing any groundwater control system. The knowledge of this property is much useful in solving problems
involving yield of water bearing strata, seepage through earthen dams, stability of earthen dams, and
embankments of canal bank affected by seepage, settlement etc. The falling head method of determining
permeability is used for soil with low discharge, where as the constant head permeability test is used for coarsegrained soils with a reasonable discharge in a given time. For very fine-grained soil, capillarity permeability test is
recommended. We do perform Packer Permeability Tests in Rocks.
Groundwater Samples can be collected for analysis in the chemical and microbiological lab. Routine drinking
water analysis, trace metals, and organic parameters can be tested and evaluated.

Slope Stability Studies
The field of slope stability encompasses the analysis of static and dynamic stability of slopes of earth and rock-fill
dams, slopes of other types of embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock. Lonestar
Alpha can provide slope stability investigation, analysis (including modelling), and design mitigation which can
be completed by our well trained and qualified geologists and geotechnical engineers.
Settlement Monitoring
Settlement Monitoring surveys is performed to determine the degree of horizontal and vertical displacement of
structures, pavements and embankments over a defined period. Severe pavement damage and structural failure
can be a direct result of settlement and therefore it is critical that movement be detected and measured. Our Senior
Engineering Surveyors and Geotechnical Engineers are available to assist you with the development and
implementation of a monitoring system to suit individual requirements.
