Concrete Testing

East West offers a comprehensive range of concrete testing, both onsite and in our laboratory. The following tests are available to Australian Standards:

  • Sampling
  • Consistency testing (on- site slump test)
  • Compressive flexural strength
  • Shrinkage
  • Cylinder casting, crushing and curing
  • Mass per unit volume testing
  • Sand and aggregate testing for grading, particle density, water absorption, shape, strength and soundness.
Aggregate Testing
  • Particle density and water absorption
  • Particle size distribution
  • Particle shape
  • Recycled aggregate testing
  • Durability - Wet/Dry Aggregate crushing value
  • Fractured faces
  • Bulk density
  • Sampling
  • Contaminants - Weak particles and organic purities
Soil Testing
  • Sampling
  • Classification: moisture content, liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, linear shrinkage, Emerson class number, particle size distribution
  • Compaction: standard and modified
  • Field Density: relative compaction, dry density ratio, moisture variation and moisture ratio, density index, compaction control - field density using a nuclear gauge
  • Bearing: determination of the California bearing ratio of a soil
  • Reactivity: conducting a swell test and core shrinkage
  • Strength and penetration: determining the penetration resistance of a soil using dynamic cone penetrometer, unconfined compressive and maximum dry
Engineering Design
  • Sampling
  • Dam construction recommendations and testing for soil suitability for dam walls and clay liners
  • Sports field construction-Materials testing for adequate drainage properties
  • Clay tennis court construction-Materials testing for adequate drainage properties
  • Cricket pitch construction-Suitability of the "bulli", a special type of clay used in professional cricket fields
  • Pavement design
  • Site classification
  • Geotechnical investigation
  • Racecourse development
Land Development

East West offers site classifications to assist in the engineering of building and foundation supports to get your project off to the best possible start by:

  • sampling field data
  • laboratory testing and
  • calculation of expected soil movement.

 

East West can also provide:

  • Modified wastewater application- single lots and subdivisions
  • Agronomic reports- providing recommendations for groundcovers for erosion control
  • Exemption classification- Excavated Natural Materials (ENM), recovered fines and recovered aggregates.
