Aggregates and Soils Testing

ACS provides comprehensive testing to determine the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, including aggregates, soils, concrete, bituminous materials, mortar and screed, and natural stone – helping clients assess quality, strength, and suitability for use.

While most testing is carried out in our laboratories, we also conduct certain specialist on-site tests. With state-of-the-art facilities, experienced technicians, and a commitment to accuracy, we deliver reliable data to support safe, compliant, and durable construction.

Our experienced site technicians deliver a comprehensive range of UKAS-accredited on-site services. Working with materials such as aggregates, bituminous materials, concrete, soils, and water, we carry out both sampling and in-situ testing – from routine quality checks to specialist assessments like plate load testing – to confirm strength, stability, and compliance.

For larger or time-sensitive projects, we can also provide fully equipped site laboratories, giving you faster turnaround times and immediate insight to keep work moving, day or night.
