Concrete and cement laboratory
Our laboratory, through all its units and branches, characterizes concrete and its constituents (aggregates, cement, mineral additions, admixtures, mixing water, ...) to determine their properties. Our teams and testing facilities allow us to handle your materials, prepare, and sample the necessary test specimens for conducting tests onsite and in laboratories.
The range of tests handled by our laboratory is extensive to enable testing all the characteristics of your products.
IN THE LABORATORY
Control of the physical and chemical properties of concrete constituents and material acceptance: cement, sand, gravel, water, and additives.
Tests on cement (compressive and tensile strength, initial and final setting time) and hydraulic binders.
Verification of proposed cement concrete mix designs.
Compressive strength tests on concrete specimens.
Statistical studies.
ONSITE
Inspection of equipment and placement methods.
Inspection of hardened concrete using non-destructive tests (sclerometer, ultrasound, rebar detector, corrosion meter).
Control and measurement of concrete's physical properties: slump, air content, mixing time, temperature.
Sampling for compressive strength tests.
Control of concrete protection after placement.
IN MANUFACTURING PLANTS (Concrete)
Inspection of equipment and manufacturing methods.
Inspection of materials.
