Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
We undertake quality assurance testing on aggregates, soils and concrete during the construction of major infrastructure projects. Our laboratory is staffed with highly qualified technicians who work with our clients to provide unique and innovative solutions that are technically sound, simple to understand and practical to implement.
Soil Testing
- Moisture Content
- Grain Size Analysis
- Atterberg Limits
- Soil Classification (in accordance with USGS, COLTO, TMH14)
- Maximum Dry Density & Optimum Moisture Content (Mod AASHTO & Proctor)
- California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
- Unconfined Compression Strength of soilcrete
- pH & Electrical Conductivity to evaluate risk of attack on concrete steel re-enforcements
- Nuclear Density Testing (Troxler)
- In-situ Testing of soil stiffness by Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP)
Aggregate Testing
- Sieve Analysis
- Atterberg Limits of fines
- Bulk Density
- Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) and 10% Fact
- Quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) testing for stone crusher production plants
Concrete Testing
- Sampling from site, forming and curing of concrete cubes under standard laboratory conditions, strength testing at 7 and 28 days
- Concrete mix designs
- Slump Test
- Compressive Strength of Mansory units (concrete cubes, bricks, pavers)
