Aggregate Testing Services
Aggregate Testing
AS 1141, ASTM and Road Authority Methods
ARC Laboratory Services was founded on aggregate testing, and it remains the foundation of our Perth laboratory. Our testing meets Australian Standard AS 1141 and ASTM methods, as well as State Road Authority specifications including Main Roads WA.
Aggregate materials form the basis of road construction, concrete production and civil engineering projects, and our assessments of their physical, chemical, strength and durability properties help confirm materials are fit for purpose before they reach site. Browse our full range of aggregate testing below, grouped by classification, or find a test by its AS 1141 standard number.
