Civil Material Testing

Concrete Testing:

Ertdad Inspection provides comprehensive concrete and masonry material testing for a variety of projects, from residential buildings to large-scale infrastructure like refineries, dams, and stadiums. Our services include:

  • Compressive Strength Testing: Evaluation of concrete and grout specimens to ensure they meet required standards.
  • Slump & Temperature Monitoring: Ensuring freshly mixed concrete is of the right consistency and temperature.
  • Concrete Molding: Casting of concrete cylindrical molds for strength testing.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Assessing the integrity of concrete without causing damage.
  • Dry Film Thickness (DFT) Testing: Measuring the thickness of coatings applied to concrete.
  • Concrete Coring: Extracting concrete cores for further analysis.

Soil & Aggregate Testing:

Ertdad Inspection’s experts conduct thorough testing of asphalt, soil, and aggregates to ensure they meet project specifications. We provide a wide range of mechanical and chemical tests, including:

  • Field Density/Compaction Testing: Measuring soil compaction to ensure stability.
  • Sieve Analysis: Determining the particle size distribution in soils and aggregates.
  • Liquid Limit Testing: Establishing the water content at which soil changes from liquid to plastic.
  • Proctor Testing: Assessing the moisture-density relationship of soils.
  • Specific Gravity Testing: Determining the density of soil and aggregate materials.
  • Clay Lumps & Friable Particles Testing: Ensuring aggregates meet durability standards.
  • California Bearing Ratio (CBR): Evaluating the strength of soil for road construction.
  • Soundness Testing: Assessing the durability of aggregates under freeze-thaw conditions.
  • Los Angeles Abrasion Testing: Measuring the resistance of aggregates to wear.

Asphalt Testing:

Ertdad Inspection offers specialized asphalt testing services to verify the quality and durability of asphalt materials used in construction. Our services include:

  • Extraction & Gradation: Analyzing the composition of asphalt binder and wearing courses.
  • Specific Gravity Testing: Determining the theoretical (GMM) and bulk (GMB) specific gravity of asphalt.
  • Marshall Stability & Flow Testing: Evaluating the stability and flow properties of asphalt.
  • Asphalt Core Testing: Extracting and testing asphalt cores to assess in-place pavement quality.
