TESTING SERVICES

Flexible Pavement and Bituminous Materials Testing

Comprehensive evaluation of pavement materials for durability, performance, and compliance.

Service Overview

Comprehensive testing services for bitumen binders, asphalt mixtures, and in-situ flexible pavement layers to evaluate performance, compaction, durability, and compliance with project specifications.
