Construction Materials Testing and Consultancy
Many different types of soil can be encountered on construction sites. The importance of the characteristics of soil, such as the size and nature of particles, its density and structural properties, means soil surveys are often required to inform design and construction decisions
Aggregates are tested for strength, toughness, hardness, shape, and water absorption. In order to decide the suitability of the aggregate for use in various construction projects.
We offer a wide range of testing across all building materials and all types of soils and aggregates.
A more comprehensive list of the testing we do can be found on our UKAS Schedule, If you do not see the test you require please get in touch to see if we can accommodate you.
A small sample of the testing we offer on soils and aggregates:
• Moisture Content
• Optimum Moisture Content
• Susceptibility to Frost Heave
• Determination of particle density
• Particle Size Distribution
• Los Angeles Abrasion Value
• Micro Deval Method
• Polished Stone Value (PSV)
• Aggregate Abrasion Value (AAV)
