Advanced Aggregate Testing
Our Sunshine Coast-based Specialised Testing Laboratory team performs tests on aggregate samples not regularly offered by most materials testing facilities. When a project requires an unusual test method, this team can help.
Aggregates are raw coarse to medium grained materials extracted from pits and quarries. Aggregate material typically includes sand, crushed stone, gravel and recycled concrete, and is used as a binding medium for asphalt road base and cement concrete construction applications. The raw materials are mined, crushed, washed and separated. For successful use, the properties of the processed aggregate must be uniform and consistent.
Advanced aggregate testing includes a series of scientific tests to evaluate the chemical properties and physical characteristics of the aggregate material. These tests identify the most suitable materials for specific applications, ensuring the quality and longevity of construction projects.
