Laboratory Services

Certain chemicals and minerals that are detrimental to the stabilising process may be present in the host material. It is essential that the ground is sampled and tested at the earliest opportunity.

Further sub-samples are used to arrive at a site specific mix design (i.e how much binder(s) that satisfies the requirements of the engineer for the works.

When stabilising work commences on site a laboratory technician will be present to carry out the compliance testing demanded by the specification. Testing of the finished layer(s) of stabilised material may also be required.

At combined Stabilisations we only use independant and accredited laboratories to undertake our testing. This has 2 advantages:

1) It promotes the confidence of the client as they have access to the testing and reporting.

2) The lab, as an independant party, is only concerned with the test in hand and not any connected matters.
