Material performance validated by testing
Our tests on soils, concrete and aggregates verify the quality, compliance and performance of materials used in construction and civil engineering projects.
Using recognized testing methods, we analyze the mechanical and physical properties of materials to ensure they meet technical and regulatory requirements.
In particular, we perform sieving tests (retained and passing) on granular materials such as MG20, MG112 or MG56, as well as shear strength, water content, sedimentation, Proctor and consolidation tests.
Compressive strength tests on concrete are also carried out to ensure the durability and safety of the works.
- Complete laboratory tests on soils, concrete, and aggregates to verify their quality, compliance, and mechanical performance.
- Particle size analysis and sieve testing for granular materials (MG20, MG112, MG56, etc.) according to project requirements and current standards.
- Strength and mechanical behavior tests including concrete compressive strength, shear strength, and soil consolidation tests.
- Evaluation of materials' physical properties such as water content, sedimentation, and Proctor tests to ensure optimal implementation on site.
- Reliable results and clear reports enabling informed decisions and guaranteeing the durability and safety of structures.
FAQ
The tests make it possible to verify the quality, compliance and performance of the materials used in a project.
They help prevent installation issues, ensure the durability of structures and meet technical and regulatory requirements.
In particular, we perform sieving and grain-size analyses, Proctor tests, sedimentation tests, water content tests, shear strength tests, soil consolidation tests, as well as compressive strength tests on concrete.
Tests are generally performed before construction to validate the materials, during the work to ensure quality control, or after the work in case of verification or an identified issue.
They are not always mandatory, but strongly recommended before any project requiring granular materials (roads, foundations, embankments, concrete).
Many municipalities, engineers or financial institutions require them before work begins.
Tests are performed using recognized methods that comply with the applicable standards, including those of the MTQ, BNQ or other reference frameworks in force depending on the type of project.
