The Infrastructure Division (IFD) offers a wide range of pavement laboratory testing for road and airport pavement based on international standards such as ASTM and British Standards. Our IFD team has extensive experience in the testing and quality control of asphaltic concrete mixtures. We utilise automated data acquisition for efficient use of our resources and ensure prompt delivery of test reports.

Laboratory tests are performed to determine whether the pavement material meets the specification or performance requirements. Some of the more critical tests for pavement are gradation, bitumen content, air void content, marshall Stability and flow tests. Our IFD also performs tests for cored pavement thickness and density. We offer a wide range of testing services for hot mix paving mixtures such as :

 
  • Bitumen Content
  • Particle Size Distribution and Sieve Analysis
  • Bitumen content by Ignition Method
  • Thickness of cored samples
  • Density of premix on cored samples
  • Percentage of air voids
  • Marshall Density Test
  • Marshall Flow and Stability
  • Pavement Macrotexture Depth (Volumetric Technique)
  • Surface Frictional Properties British Pendulum Tester)
  • Los Angeles Abrasion Test
  • Determination of Steel Slag Content
  • Penetration of Bituminous Materials
  • Softening Point of Bitumen (Ring and Ball Apparatus)
  • Apparent Viscosity of Bitumen (Brookfield Apparatus)
  • Recovery of Asphalt from solution
  • Determination of Wheel-Tracking Rate (Dry)
  • Accelerated Polish Stone Value

Our testing lab voluntarily participates in regular and external quality assurance program conducted by AASHTO Material Reference Laboratory (AMRL). This independent program evaluates the laboratory's personnel, equipment, procedures and quality control programs. The participation in this program shows that we are committed to quality and competency and shows our recognition of the importance of the testing services we are providing to the industry.
