TCR Engineering is proud to introduce a new value-added service for our long-term and contract clients: Complimentary Sample Pickup via a dedicated TCR-branded van.

As India’s leading materials testing and inspection lab, we understand that time, logistics, and coordination are critical in the execution of large-scale industrial, infrastructure, and civil projects. That’s why we’re bringing our lab closer to you—literally.


Now Offering Free Sample Pickups for Long-Term Clients
Testing Beyond Limits. Service Beyond Expectations.

🧪 Why This Matters

With our new pickup service, clients with long-term testing engagements can now request free pickup of material samples directly from:

  • Plant locations

  • Fabrication yards

  • Civil construction sites

This service is available by prior scheduling and is designed to make testing logistics frictionless, especially for ongoing or bulk testing contracts.


🔍 What Happens After Pickup

Once collected, your samples are:

  1. Transported directly to our NABL & ISO 17025-accredited lab located in Mahape, Navi Mumbai, in a secure, professionally managed van.

  2. Unloaded safely using designated forklifts and trained helpers, ensuring sample integrity is maintained throughout.

  3. Immediately logged into our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) — this enables complete digital traceability and ensures all handling and testing comply with industry norms and regulatory standards.


Every sample follows a chain of custody process, enabling full audit trails and compliance with our stringent quality protocols.
