Quarry Product Evaluation & Testing
BRG can provide complete testing and the independent certification required by the S.R.21 - Annex E requirements related to assessing the suitability of hardcore infill as per the S.R.21:2004 (Guidance on the use of I.S. EN 13242:2002 – Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically bound materials for use in civil engineering work and road construction.)
Our geologists utilise a two phase approach to evaluating the Annex E S.R.21 requirements that keeps
costs to a minimum.
Phase 1 includes:
Grading and size analysis
Assessment of fines content and quality
Particles crushed, rounded or broken
Resistance to fragmentation
Magnesium sulphate soundness
Water absorption
Acid soluble sulphate
Total sulphur content
The results from the Phase 1 analysis determine if a Phase 2 evaluation is necessary.
Phase 2 includes:
Petrographic examinations of samples using thin sections and X-ray diffraction
BRG can also provide assessment of the source aggregate products through their range of Geological assessment, Geophysical surveying, and Geochemical analysis.
