Aggregate Testing

Aggregate Testing

STS’ purpose-built, air-conditioned laboratories undertake an extensive range of physical, mechanical and chemical testing of aggregates.

Through precise aggregate testing, we contribute to the reliability and longevity of construction materials, facilitating the production of high-quality concrete and asphalt. This quality control process is instrumental in adhering to industry standards and regulatory requirements, ultimately enhancing the success and sustainability of geotechnical projects.

This process typically includes assessing parameters such as particle size distribution, shape, density, abrasion resistance, and moisture content. Standardized testing methods, such as those established by ASTM International or AASHTO, are commonly employed to ensure consistent and reliable results.

Some of the material testing services offered by STS include:
