Grain distribution determines the quality of foundation materials
The correct grain distribution of foundation materials is essential to the service life and performance of roads. Roads with heavy traffic loads require a different foundation construction than roads with light loads.
Varying the material type, gradation and any additives creates a foundation with the appropriate stiffness or flexibility. This directly affects properties such as water permeability, stability and workability.
A good analysis beforehand helps to limit risks during construction and use.
Analyses according to applicable standards
We examine the grain distribution of sand, foundation material and recycled materials such as asphalt granulate. In doing so, we assess whether the material meets the established technical specifications and environmental requirements. Our specialists carry out analyses according to applicable standards and provide clear reports that allow you to move on quickly. This gives you certainty about the suitability of materials before processing or application.
Specialist expertise
In our laboratories, we have the knowledge and equipment to accurately assess a variety of building materials. We support contractors, manufacturers, governments and consulting firms with reliable analyses and practical advice.
Thanks to our experience in infrastructure and environmental assessment, you not only receive measurement results, but also useful insights for your project.
What this means for you
- You prevent delays and rejection on the building site
- You know in advance whether delivered material meets the specifications
- You gain insight into permeability, stability and workability
- You use asphalt granulate and other circular materials with certainty
- You comply with standards, specifications and environmental legislation
Future-oriented construction with circular materials
Sustainable construction requires responsible reuse of raw materials. That is why the use of asphalt granulate and other secondary materials is growing. With an expert analysis of granule distribution, we help you apply circular materials safely and responsibly, without compromising on quality or performance.
