Chemical Testing

Chemical Testing

Our chemical testing services provide essential insights into the composition, stability, and suitability of construction materials. Through rigorous testing, we analyze factors such as chemical composition, pH levels, reactivity, and presence of harmful substances to ensure materials meet industry standards and environmental regulations. Common tests include sulphate and chloride content analysis, alkalinity testing, and detection of any contaminants that might affect durability or performance.

  • Chemical testing is critical for materials like concrete, aggregates, bitumen, and soil, as it helps predict potential issues like corrosion, material degradation, or adverse reactions.
  • With accurate and thorough chemical analysis, we help our clients select safe, high-quality materials that enhance the longevity and resilience of their construction projects.
