CONCRETE AND AGGREGATE TESTING

Concrete and aggregate used in your construction projects has to meet strict regulations and quality standards. As these standards are often compulsory, concrete and aggregate testing by an independent third-party is necessary to help assure compliance. Our full range of independent concrete and aggregate testing services can help ensure both the quality of your concrete and the quality of your aggregate.

WHY USE CONCRETE AND AGGREGATE TESTING FROM SGS?

As an independent third-party, we provide you with highly specialized personnel, technology and testing laboratories, along with accreditation for a wide range of national and international standards.

We can help you:

• Comply with relevant regulatory requirements and quality standards
• Make informed decisions using recommendations, guidance, and review of test materials
• When the standard test is not suitable, perform the test you need with the help of the scheduled test process
• Ensure concrete quality
• Ensure the quality of pellets
• Assess the performance of available materials
• Control the quality of concrete during and after construction
