- Flexible Sampling Options: Convenient on-site sampling from stockpiles by our trained technicians or efficient collection service for your pre-bagged samples.
- Rapid & Reliable Analysis: State-of-the-art equipment ensures prompt turnaround times without compromising accuracy.
- Clear, Actionable Reporting: Detailed analytical reports compliant with industry standards.
- Expert Support: Consultation to help you understand results and their implications for your project.
Professional Sampling Services
Correct sampling is crucial for representative results. We offer on-site stockpile sampling, sample collection service, and ensure full chain of custody for sample integrity.
Comprehensive Aggregate Testing Capabilities
Our laboratories are equipped for an extensive range of aggregate tests covering physical, mechanical, durability, and chemical properties according to British and European Standards (e.g., BS EN 12620, BS EN 13242).
Physical Properties
Moisture Content, Particle Density, Bulk Density, Particle Size Distribution (Grading), Flakiness Index, Shape Index, Shell Content – essential for mix design and performance prediction.
Mechanical Properties
Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV), Ten Percent Fines (TFV), Aggregate Impact Value (AIV), Los Angeles Abrasion (LAA), Polished Stone Value (PSV) – critical for assessing strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
Durability & Chemical Properties
Magnesium Sulfate Soundness (for frost resistance), Frost Heave, Drying Shrinkage, Petrographic Description, Chloride/Sulfate Content – vital for long-term performance and avoiding deleterious reactions.
Recycled & Specialist Aggregate Analysis
Constituent Analysis (vital for recycled aggregates), Assessment of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) / Maximum Dry Density (MDD) relationship for earthworks.
