A comprehensive range of construction material testing
Concrete
We offer a full scope of concrete and grout testing, including compressive strength of cylinders, cores and cubes, slump, air content, RDP flexural strength, and durability tests. Our laboratory accommodates small and large volume testing, from multiple sites and projects, ensuring fast sample preparation and curing for the most accurate results.
Aggregates
Our comprehensive aggregate and sand testing services are tailored to your specific needs, including for suitability for use in concrete. Our capabilities include tests for size and shape, durability, and density. We also offer tests for deleterious substances, such as clay, organic matter, and sulphates.
Rocks
We provide testing for rock classification, compressive strength, Modulus and Poissons, indirect tensile strength, point load index, porosity, density, water absorption, cerchar, raised bore index, direct shear and more.
Masonry, bricks and blocks
We offer a comprehensive suite of masonry testing for all sizes of tiles, bricks and blocks, including compressive strength, flexural strength, bond strength, water absorption, efflorescence, modulus of elasticity, slip resistance and more.
Site and remote location laboratories
Our team of experienced and NATA accredited technicians conduct soil and concrete testing to AS and MRWA methods on any site in Western Australia. We can deploy a remote laboratory with all the equipment required for the project scope of testing, including moisture content, particle size, NDM, compaction, Atterberg limits, CBR, concrete slump, casting of cylinders, compressive strength and more.
