TESTING ON
AGGREGATES
Aggregates are essential components of foundations and civil engineering structures. Their composition, strength, and cleanliness directly influence the strength and longevity of structures.

We carry out several analyses to ensure their compliance:
Granulometry
Checking the particle size distribution (sieving).
Shape of aggregates
Analysis of the kurtosis coefficient.
Mechanical resistance
Micro-Deval (wear) and Los Angeles (fragmentation) tests.
Qualification of fines
Methylene blue test to detect the presence of harmful clays.
Water content
Drying in a ventilated oven to assess residual humidity.
These tests ensure the quality of aggregates used for concrete, road infrastructure and other civil engineering projects, thus enabling immediate optimization of production.
