Key Aggregate Testing Services
Concrete & Asphalt Aggregate Conformance Testing
We provide annual testing and conformance assessments for aggregates used in concrete and asphalt in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2758 and the Transport for NSW (TfNSW) specification series. These tests ensure that the aggregate meets the required strength, grading, and durability for use in high-performance pavements and structures.
Roadbase and Manufactured Fill Testing
Our laboratory conducts conformance testing for roadbase materials and other manufactured fills to ensure they meet standards set by AUS-SPEC, ARRB, and TfNSW specifications. These tests assess the quality of road construction materials to guarantee long-term stability and performance.
Physical Property Assessments
We conduct detailed assessments of the physical properties of aggregates, including strength, density, soundness, absorption, and particle shape. These tests help determine the suitability of the aggregate for its intended application, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Onsite Sampling & Stockpile Management
We offer onsite sampling services to collect representative samples from stockpiles or quarries, ensuring accurate testing results. Our stockpile management services help maintain the quality and consistency of materials throughout the project lifecycle, helping reduce the risk of material degradation.
