Hindustan Colas Technical Centre

State of the art laboratory with NABL accreditation
Hincol founded its Technical Centre at Navi Mumbai in
2006. Our world-class researchers are developing and
advancing technologies to improve durability of pavements efficiently and effectively. Several smaller technical centres in our network are located close to our
customers, and provide tailored services.
We work with governments, world-class academics, and
industry specialists. We share ideas and expertise with
partners inside and beyond the sector to drive innovation
forward
Hindustan Colas Technical Centre has become home to
a wide spectrum of technical disciplines. It develops
niche areas of technical work in fields like material, mix
and performance characterization, training and troubleshooting.
The Services offered include:
 Material characterization

Cold Mix Design

Micro surfacing Mix Design
Pavement Design
Training
Troubleshooting / Execution support
The Technical Training service is designed to help you
use the right product, at the right time, every time. The
service is delivered by highly trained technical staff who
work with you to develop a service that meets your
individual requirements. We help to equip you with engineering, technical and application knowledge.
The Technical Training modules have been designed to
offer different levels of support for different business
sizes and applications. By using our expertise to help
you improve design and construction practices, you can
increase productivity, limit downtime, enhance durability
which can ultimately lead to a competitive advantage.
