Aggregates Testing in Bangalore

Coarse & Fine Aggregate Testing for Concrete and Road Works

Build Stronger Structures with Verified Aggregates

Aggregates form the backbone of concrete and pavement layers. If aggregate quality is inconsistent, it can lead to reduced strength, poor workability, higher cement demand, cracking, raveling, and long-term durability issues. At EDGE2 Engineering Solutions, we provide accurate coarse and fine aggregate testing to ensure your materials meet project requirements and Indian Standards, supporting better quality control and smoother approvals.

Why Aggregates Testing Matters

Aggregates must be checked for:

• Grading and proportion (to achieve good packing and workability)

• Strength and toughness (to resist crushing and impact)

• Hardness and abrasion resistance (especially for roads and pavements)

• Shape characteristics (flaky/elongated particles can weaken concrete)

• Water absorption and moisture behavior (affects mix design and durability)

Testing helps you:

• Approve the right quarry/source

• Maintain consistent concrete strength and durability

• Reduce cement wastage and mix variations

• Prevent site rejections and rework

Aggregates Tests We Conduct (As per Indian Standards)

We perform a complete suite of tests on coarse and fine aggregates, including:

Grading & Fineness

• Sieve Analysis

• Materials Finer than 75 Micron

• Bulking (for fine aggregate)

Density & Physical Properties

• Bulk Density (Loose & Compacted)

• Specific Gravity & Water Absorption

Shape Characteristics

• Flakiness Index & Elongation Index

Strength, Toughness & Wear Resistance

• Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV)

• Aggregate Impact Value (AIV)

• 10% Fines Value

• Los Angeles Abrasion Test

(Please note the test selection depends on your project scope: concrete, asphalt, base/sub-base, or approvals.)

Where Aggregates Testing is Used?

Our aggregates testing supports:

• RCC concrete & masonry works

• RMC (Ready Mix Concrete) and batching plants

• PCC, flooring and pavements

• Road works (WMM/WBM, base & sub-base, asphalt works)

• Government/infrastructure projects requiring documented QC

What You Receive (Deliverables)?

You will receive clear, site-ready reports suitable for:

• Quality control records

FAQs

1) What is sieve analysis used for?
It checks aggregate grading and helps ensure proper particle size distribution for concrete and road layers.

2) Why do we test water absorption and specific gravity?
These affect mix proportions, cement demand, durability, and moisture corrections on-site.

3) What do LA abrasion and impact/crushing tests indicate?
They evaluate resistance to wear, impact, and crushing—critical for pavements and high-load applications.

4) Do you test both coarse and fine aggregates?
Yes, we test both and recommend test scope based on your project requirements.
