We offer the full range of tests normally required for civil engineering purposes as far as soils, gravel and aggregates are concerned.

This includes tests ranging from basic sieve analysis and atterberg limits to more sophisticated test such as “DMI, Venter Test and resistivity” .

Testing for modified / stabilization design and control purposes covers both cementitious and bituminous stabilization.

Some of the standard tests we perform on a daily basis:

  • MDD
  • CBR
  • INDICATOR
  • UCS / ITS
  • STABILIZATION DESIGNS
  • Proctor
  • ICC / ICL
  • CEMENT CONTENT
  • LIME CONTENT
  • pH
  • CONDUCTIVITY
  • COMPACTABILITY
  • HYDROMETER
  • CLAY AND SILT CONTENT
  • DURABILITY
  • CARBONATION
  • ACV
  • 10% FACT
  • ALD / FLAKINESS
  • LA ABBRASION
  • UCS TEST ON ROCK CORES
  • TRETON IMPACT / VENTER TEST
  • EXPANSION
  • SAND EQUIVALENT

Bitumen stabilized material

These materials are treated with either bitumen emulsion or foamed bitumen. Typically used as a recycling method to rehabilitate existing roads and their existing material. The technology has proven do be very efficient and growing to be the future of rehabilitating methods in South Africa and large portions of the rest of the world. Quality control requires constant sampling of freshly mixed material on site, compaction and durability and strength testing. We do it all, from basic to more advanced 150 mm triaxial strength determination testing.
