Aggregates Testing
If you need to assess aggregates, stone or crushed concrete for use as capping, sub base, Type 1 or working platform material then we can help. We undertake a broad range of classification tests to asses whether material complies to a variety of specifications inducing, the 6F classes, MOT sub bases and aggregates used for other purposes such as in concrete.
Take a look below at the types of tests we offer from our central laboratory and on your site to help with aggregates assessment
On-Site Aggregate Testing
LWD Testing

Lightweight Deflectometer Test for roads, pile mats, crane bases
DCP Testing

Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Testing to obtain CBR for roads and geotechnical
Sampling

Obtain a representative sample for testing in the lab
Density & Compaction Testing
Laboratory CBR Testing

For determination of CBR values on remoulded material
Insitu Density using Sand Cone
