Construction
Laboratory and on-site testing equipment for concrete, asphalt, soil, cement and mortar.
A construction project rests on materials whose properties have to be proven before, during and long after they are placed.
We supply the laboratory and field equipment that contractors, quality control laboratories, research institutes and universities use to do it — from mixing and specimen preparation, through compression testing, to the non-destructive assessment of structures already in service.
What we test
Moulds, mixers, compaction and workability, air entrainment, compression and flexural testing, with monitoring, control systems and software.
Assessment of existing structures without cutting into them: ultrasonic evaluation, rebar detection, crack measurement, carbonation analysis, ground-penetrating radar, corrosion and moisture assessment.
Mixing, binder extraction, compaction and specimen preparation; static and dynamic testing; viscosity, penetration, softening point and thin film oven ageing.
Mixing and compacting, setting time, fineness, flow, bond strength, expansion and shrinkage, compression and flexural testing.
Proctor, CBR, triaxial, shear, consolidation and plate bearing in the laboratory; penetrometers and sampling in the field.
Sieving and sampling, particle shape, abrasion and crushing, skid resistance, polished stone value and rock mechanics.
Testing a mix, a structure, or the ground under it?
Tell us the material and the stage of the project. We will propose the laboratory and field equipment to match.
