Aggregate Testing

Aggregate testing is important within the construction industry to ensure the material is suitable for use in concrete, drainage and road base applications.

To ensure material certainty, ASCT provides comprehensive aggregate testing to determine a number of material properties. Identifying issues with construction aggregates in the beginning allows you to minimise delays and expenditure as your project progresses.

AGGREGATE SPECIALTY TESTING

NATA-Accredited Aggregate Testing

All aggregate testing is conducted as per the relevant NATA, Australian Standards (AS) and State Government standards.

Aggregate testing provides the following benefits:

Quality assurance: By testing your aggregates, you can ensure that they meet the necessary standards and regulations for your project. This helps to prevent defects and potential issues that may arise during construction, ensuring you meet your deadlines.

Increased safety: Testing can ensure that your aggregates are safe and stable for use in your application. This is particularly important for projects that require robust structural integrity, such as bridges or buildings.

Cost savings: Identifying potential issues with your materials early on provides the opportunity to implement correctional measures before they become more serious and costly to fix. This can help you to save money on repairs, replacements, and project delays.

ASCT works with your delivery partners to mitigate issues and provide solutions to aggregate quality issues you face to ensure your project is completed on time and on budget. Bringing certainty to the construction industry for over 30 years, we have an extensive track record of success with projects of all shapes and sizes. From residential renovations to large scale infrastructure projects, we have you covered.

Additionally, our fleet of mobile annex laboratories provide the opportunity to service projects in remote locations. As our client, you will know exactly what the site consists of, the suitability and our advice for continuing the project.

Get in touch with ASCT and employ the power of certainty to mitigate project risks during your construction process.
