What this
covers.

Aggregate testing is usually required before material acceptance, batching, paving or placement. The exact test set should always be confirmed against the project specification and applicable standard.

01

Material Acceptance

Supports project teams in checking whether supplied aggregate is suitable for the intended construction use.

02

Specification Review

The required test method is confirmed based on the project specification, material source and submission requirement.

03

Report Support

Results are prepared for project records, consultant review, material approval or QA/QC documentation.

Scope confirmed
by specification.

Testing method confirmed from project specification
Sample quantity confirmed before submission
Applicable standard checked before testing
Material source and sample details recorded
Testing carried out using calibrated equipment
Results reviewed before report issuance
Signed report prepared for project records
Additional tests confirmed upon request

From sample
to report.

For tender or quality control use, provide the specification and material source together with the sample. Architest will confirm the applicable method and reporting format.
