Supporting Quality
Throughout Construction.
ARCHITEST provides Field Density Testing (FDT), Field CBR and dedicated site laboratory support for construction projects, helping project teams verify earthworks, compaction and construction quality throughout the works.
Our technical testing support is aligned with project requirements and construction programmes, from individual field testing requirements to high-volume testing and dedicated site laboratory operations.
Field Density Testing (FDT) for Construction Quality Control
Field Density Testing verifies the in-situ density and moisture condition of compacted soil and fill, providing measurable evidence of compaction achieved at site.
ARCHITEST provides Field Density Testing to support a range of construction and earthworks requirements.
Common Construction Applications
More Than Field Testing. Complete Site Laboratory Support.
For major construction projects, field testing is only part of the requirement.
A dedicated site laboratory becomes part of the project's quality-control operation, supporting ongoing testing, documentation and coordination throughout the works.
Site Laboratory Setup
Dedicated site laboratory facilities established according to project requirements and testing needs.
Field Density Testing
Routine FDT to verify compaction of earthworks and construction layers.
In-Situ CBR
Field CBR testing to support subgrade and pavement-related construction.
Density & Moisture Testing
Testing to support construction compaction control and quality verification.
Technical Personnel
Competent personnel to support ongoing site testing requirements.
Testing & Reporting
Structured testing records and reporting to support project quality-control documentation.
Supporting Earthworks & Construction Quality Control
ARCHITEST provides site laboratory and field testing support for construction activities where field verification is required to monitor quality and compliance.
Backfilling
Verification of compaction and moisture conditions for backfilled areas.
Road Construction
Field testing to support earthworks, subgrade and road construction quality control.
Foundation-Related Works
Testing support for compacted layers and earthworks associated with building and foundation construction.
Compacted Fill
Verification of field density and moisture content to support specified compaction requirements.
Pavement-Related Construction
Field testing to support subgrade and pavement-related quality control.
Ready for High-Volume Field Testing
Large construction projects can require substantial numbers of Field Density Tests across multiple work fronts and construction stages.
ARCHITEST provides coordinated field testing support for projects requiring high-volume FDT, with testing activities organised around the construction programme and project requirements.
Coordinated field testing across different construction areas and work fronts.
Testing support for projects with significant Field Density Testing requirements.
Technical personnel available to support ongoing field testing requirements.
Clear and organised testing records to support project quality-control documentation.
PNB 118
Major Construction Project
ARCHITEST provided site laboratory support for the PNB 118 development, including Field Density Testing (FDT) and CBR testing to support construction quality control.
The three-year engagement demonstrates ARCHITEST's experience in supporting long-duration, project-based site laboratory requirements, beyond individual field testing assignments.
Moisture Content
Accredited Site Testing Capability
ARCHITEST operates under an MS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited quality system, with relevant in-situ testing capabilities included within our current SAMM accredited scope.
Current Site-Testing Scope
View Full Accreditation Scope →In-Situ Density & Moisture Content
Determination of in-situ density and moisture content using applicable recognised testing methods.
Dry Density & Moisture Content
Determination of dry density and moisture content for construction quality control.
In-Situ California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
Determination of in-situ CBR to support assessment of subgrade and pavement-related construction.
Site Testing Backed by Laboratory Discipline
Site testing requires more than putting equipment in the field. It requires competent personnel, controlled procedures, appropriate equipment and reliable documentation.
Accredited Technical Competence
Relevant site-testing parameters are included within the applicable SAMM accredited scope.
Experienced Technical Team
Personnel experienced in construction and geotechnical testing environments.
Field Testing Capability
Equipment and procedures suitable for on-site density, moisture and CBR testing.
Site Laboratory Experience
Proven experience supporting long-term site laboratory operations.
Reliable Reporting
Clear and traceable results to support project quality-control records.
