Laboratory testing from TerraTek

Terra Tek offers UK-wide coverage with extensive laboratory facilities in Airdrie, Birmingham and Aston Clinton divisions.

Our laboratories hold UKAS/Mcerts accreditation for geotechnical and geochemical tests on soils, aggregates, rock, construction materials and waters to British, European and International Standards.

TerraTek currently provides onsite and laboratory testing services to many major companies within the UK construction sector. We have the resources to deliver laboratory services with unparalleled speed and efficiency with our extensive laboratory capability.

Our highly qualified and experienced laboratory team is capable of dealing with all aspects of construction materials testing. Our routine Geotech services include:

• Moisture Content
• Liquid & Plastic Limits
• Particle Density
• Particle Size Distribution
• Moisture Condition Value
• One-dimensional Consolidation
• Unconsolidated Triaxial Tests
• California Bearing Ratio
• Wet and Dry Density
• Dry Density/Moisture Content Relationship
• Dispersibility

TerraTek can also help with advanced Geotech testing such as large and small shearboxes, triaxial permeability and effective stress testing. 

Terra Tek's high-quality lab testing is conducted in our controlled laboratory environment using calibrated equipment.

Certain specifications for different tests, such as temperature and timing requirements, cannot be controlled on-site and, therefore, must be carried out in our lab under controlled test conditions.

Terra Tek tests construction materials for various material types, including soils, rock, and aggregates.

Our laboratory tests also include Aggregate & rock testing:

• Water Content
• Porosity and Density
• Particle Shape – Flakiness Index
• Unconfined Compressive Strength
• Point load Index
• 10% fines value – dry and soaked
• Resistance to Fragmentation – Los Angeles Abrasion
• Particle Size Distribution
• Magnesium Sulfate Soundness
• Slake Durability

Our UKAS accreditation scope also covers a comprehensive range of geochemical and geoenvironmental analysis – to find out more, visit the following link: Ukas Accreditation
