Sample & Field Testing

SERVICE OFFERING

01


Nuclear Density

Used to determine the in-situ density of soil, gravel and sand material as well as the moisture content of a surface layer.

Category Image

02


Cored Specimens

This method is used to extract field specimens for use in determining UCS or ITS of stablilised materials.

Category Image

03


Sand Replacement

Determines the in-situ density of a layerwhere the nuclear density method is unsuitable.

Category Image

04


Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)

Used to determine the resistance of the material as well as to interpolate the expected California Bearing Ratio.

Category Image

05


Plate Load Test

Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of soil and the probable settlement under a given load.

Category Image

06


Asphalt and Concrete Coring

Used to extract field specimens to determine layer thickness, BRD on asphalt specimens and more.

Category Image

07


Ball Penetration Test

The ball penetration test is used to simulate the embedment of stone chips that occurs during construction and under traffic loading.

Category Image

08


Clegg Impact Hammer Testing

Measures soil strength and consolidation levels during trench re-instatement and confirm uniform compaction over areas of ground.

Category Image

9


Rolling Straight Edge

Used to determine the rideability of a specific road surface area and measure the transition between where processed sections join.

Category Image

10


Sampling of Materials

Obtaining of asphalt, soils, gravels, concrete or bitumen samples that are representative of the material used during construction phases

Category Image

11


Dynamic Probe Super Heavy (DPSH)

Used in favourable conditions to determine the expected bearing capacity of soils .

Category Image

12


Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD)

The most practical system to accurately measuring pavement’s deflection response when subject to a dynamic load.

Category Image

13


International Roughness Index (IRI)

Measure surface roughness, texture and rutting to calculate ride comfort, surface friction and noise generation.

Category Image

14


Walking profilometer

Evaluate the surface condition of pavement. Measures surface roughness, texture and transition irregularities and surface rutting.

Category Image

15


Model Mobile Load Simulator (MMLS 3)

One of 13 world wide, this allows us to simulate traffic, moisture and temperature effects on a pavement layer, recreating real-life stresses.

Category Image

16


Concrete crack width meter/camera

Investigate cracks width on concrete structures such as walls, tunnels, bridges etc. with photographic recording - accuracy of 0.01mm.

Category Image

18


Proceq Concrete scanning

Non-destructive testing of concrete structures using ground penetrating radar to an effective depth exceeding 700mm.

Category Image

19


Certification of a binder distributor

Certification of a binder distributor, validation of binder distributor dipstick, power and speed indicator test, pump system performance, and transverse distribution.

Category Image

20


Marvil test

The permeability of a bituminous layer indirectly indicates the material’s susceptibility to the ingress of water.

Category Image

21


Texture depth measurement

This test is used to determine the texture of a road surface, also known as roughness.

Category Image

22


Ball penetration

The ball penetration test is used to simulate the embedment of stone chips that occurs during construction and under traffic loading.

Category Image

23


Cover meter testing

Determining the reinforcing depth in an existing concrete structure with the use of a rebar detector.

Category Image

24


Rebound hammer

This device measures the elastic properties or strength of concrete or rock, mainly surface hardness and penetration resistance.

Category Image

25


Ultrasonic pulse velocity and echo

Scanning of sub-surface targets in concrete to determine strength and quality, evaluating slab thickness and the severity of honey combing.
