Aggregate Testing

UK-Wide Aggregate Testing Services

Aggregate testing evaluates the properties of construction materials such as sand, stone, and gravel to ensure quality control, compliance and safety when undertaking construction projects. It also offers a highly accurate determination of strength in various temperatures and other relevant conditions, which can prove crucial in decision-making processes for project progression.

From sampling to grading tests, our experienced team at ETL will work alongside you to accurately test following the agreed specification to allow for works to be validated, quickly identifying non-compliances to avoid delays in your project.

Our most popular aggregate tests

The particle size distribution test detects the reports and size of aggregate particles by sieving a sample down to 63 µm by either wet or dry sieve method.
The water content test allows us to identify the percentage of water present in a sample using the Oven Drying Method. Water is almost always present in soils, and this test allows us to identify the percentage present in a sample using the Oven Drying Method. This test is vital when assessing other test results such as compactions and liquid/plastic limit tests.
