Asphalt Testing
Fresh mix verification, Marshall stability, bulk density, binder extraction, and full mix analysis. SANS 3001-AS and TMH1 methods.
Asphalt, tested to specification
Every asphalt layer, from base to surface course, depends on verified mix design and compacted performance. We test Marshall briquettes, bulk density, void content, and binder extraction against SANS and TMH1 specifications.
Our results support road construction sign-off, municipal acceptance testing, and pavement verification. Data is reported to SANS method specification and can be submitted for tender documentation, construction stage approval, or dispute resolution.
