SPTC - Construction Materials Testing and Engineering was originally founded by the Georgian Research Institute of Energy and Energy Structures in 1928, as a department specifically dealing with building materials and reinforced concrete structures. From that time, the department's activities were mainly focussed on projects in Georgia and the Caucasus region, and in particular on the construction of hydroelectric power stations and other hydraulic (flowing liquid) based structures. Additionally, the department also participated in the construction of hydroelectric power stations and other concrete based structures in the Middle & Far East, Siberia and other regions of the former Soviet Union. In the 2007 the department was privatised and incorporated as SPTC, with the letters being the Latin transliteration of the original Georgian department name. Since then, the company has undertaken testing and monitoring work on a long list of prestigious national and international construction projects including the reconstruction of Tbilisi International Airport and the newly constructed Presidential Palace/Residence in Tbilisi. Today, the company's primary focus is on the testing of prestressed concrete beams, the testing of concrete anchors, aggregates testing, concrete core/block testing and steel rope/rebar testing, as well as the general monitoring of construction projects from a quality/safety perspective. The company is fully equipped to carry out testing in accordance with national (Georgian) regulations for the construction industry (bearing in mind that Georgia is within a seismic zone) as well as international regulations/standards (i.e. ASTM, BS and European standards etc.).
