Concrete and aggregate testing from SGS – helps you ensure that the quality of your concrete and aggregate complies with compulsory regulations and quality control standards.
Why use concrete and aggregate testing from SGS?
- Comply with the relevant regulations and quality standards
- Make informed decisions with advice, guidance and review of test data
- Get the testing you need with bespoke test procedures when standard testing does not suit
- Ensure the quality of concrete
- Ensure the quality of aggregate
- Evaluate the performance of available materials
- Control concrete quality during – and after – construction
Comprehensive concrete testing for your project
We offer you comprehensive concrete testing at every stage of your project. From on-site slump testing as you pour your concrete, through to testing hardened samples for physical characteristics in our laboratories, our concrete testing includes:
- Sampling of fresh concrete and slump testing on site
- Making and curing test specimens on your site and in our laboratory
- Compression and flexural testing
- Compression tests on molded specimens and on hardened concrete cores
- Mass per unit volume testing for hardened concrete
- Securing and testing cores from hardened concrete
- Flexural strength and toughness of hardened concrete
- Testing for the compressive strength per unit mass of grout
- Water absorption and permeable voids testing
- Apparent volume testing
A full range of aggregate testing at every stage of your project
We offer you broad aggregate testing at every phase of your project. From our on-site quality control monitoring when you source the aggregate, right through to physical characterization in our specialized laboratories, our services include testing for:
- Bulk density
- Polished aggregate friction value
- Particle density and water absorption
- Sieve analysis
- Material finer than 75 im\
- Particle shape
- Flakiness index
- Angularity number
- Fine particle size distribution
- Aggregate crushing value
- Wet/dry strength variation
- Los Angeles Value
- Soundness
- Weak particles
- Clay and fine silt
- Organic impurities other than sugar
- Resistance to stripping
- Color of aggregate
- Average least dimension
- Resistance to wear by attrition
- Unconfined compressive strength
- Chloride sulfate sugar content
- Petrographic examination
- Oversize particle size distribution and shape
Our in-house aggregate testing methods include:
- Sampling from a conveyor belt
- Truck, stockpile, rock spall, boulder and drill core
- Sample preparation – stabilized pavement material
