Soil & gravel testing
Is the material good enough for the layer? Grading, plasticity, compaction and strength tell you.

What we test
From the borrow pit to the finished layer
Field density & DCP
Has it been compacted to spec? We check each layer on site, the same day.
Concrete & aggregates
Will it reach strength? Slump on delivery, cubes crushed on schedule, stone checked at source.
Geotechnical & road investigations
What are you building on? Test pits, profiles and material surveys before design starts.
