What is Asphalt Testing
Ensuring Quality and Compliance
Asphalt testing evaluates the physical and chemical properties of bituminous materials to ensure compliance with project specifications and regulatory standards. Services include:
- Sampling and laboratory analysis (coring, grading, binder content, density, compaction)
- In-situ testing (texture depth, density, rolling straight edge)
- Specialist testing (coal tar and road salt analysis)
- Reporting with clear recommendations for quality assurance and compliance
