Aggregate Testing Services – Ensuring Quality from Start to Finish
At GEOCIVIL, we provide comprehensive testing services for aggregate materials, ensuring they meet the required standards at every stage of your project. Our state-of-the-art laboratories are equipped to perform the essential tests that assess the material characteristics and properties of aggregates, ensuring the quality, durability, and performance of your construction materials.
You can rely on GEOCIVIL for accurate compaction and quality control testing of aggregates, conducted in strict accordance with NZS 4407, ASTM D5874, and RTA T276 standards. Our testing services help ensure that your aggregate materials comply with industry regulations and contribute to the long-term success of your projects.
Our Aggregate Testing Services Include:
- Sampling and Seconded Sampling: Accurate and representative sampling of aggregate materials for testing, ensuring reliable results for both new and existing materials.
- Window Sampling: A cost-effective and efficient method to assess subsurface conditions and retrieve samples from below the surface.
- Test Pits: Excavation and inspection of test pits to evaluate aggregate materials and assess subsurface conditions in situ.
- Water Content: Determining the moisture content of aggregates to ensure optimal compaction and performance.
- Clay Index, Plasticity Index, and Sand Equivalent: Testing to assess the fine particles, clay content, and plasticity of the aggregate materials, critical for material stability and performance.
- Broken Faces Content: Measuring the percentage of aggregate particles with fractured faces, important for ensuring interlock and load distribution.
- Particle Size Distribution: Analysis of aggregate grading to ensure appropriate particle size distribution for pavement and concrete applications.
- Benkelman Beam Deflection Measurements: Field testing to assess pavement deflection under load, providing critical data for road strength and performance.
- Crushing Resistance, Weathering Resistance, and Cleanness Value: Testing aggregate strength under crushing loads, its durability under environmental conditions, and the level of cleanliness, ensuring long-lasting materials.
- Solid Density: Determining the density of aggregate materials, essential for calculating load-bearing capacity and compaction.
- Laboratory CBR (California Bearing Ratio): A crucial test to evaluate the strength of aggregates used in pavement layers and subgrades.
- Foreign Materials in Recycled Crushed Concrete: Testing for the presence of foreign contaminants in recycled aggregates, ensuring the quality and usability of recycled materials.
