EARTHWORK
Soil Testing
Soil classification, compaction, field density, subgrade strength and other laboratory and field quality-control requirements for earthwork and pavement foundations.
Explore Soil Testing →Practical testing procedures, QA/QC guidance, calculations and professional Excel resources for the materials that control highway and infrastructure quality.
Organize testing and quality control across soil, aggregates, cement, bitumen, bituminous mixes and concrete works.
Highway pavement and infrastructure performance depends heavily on the quality and consistency of construction materials. Material testing provides the evidence required to assess compliance, establish suitability and maintain quality during construction.
HQT brings the major material-testing disciplines together in one practical resource hub covering laboratory testing, field quality control, calculations, mix design and QA/QC documentation.
