Bituminous Mixtures Testing

Durable, high-performance pavements

Road pavements represent a major investment and must deliver long-term performance, safety and durability.

Our laboratory supports you throughout every stage of the project, from pre-construction material verification to performance testing of completed pavements.

We test bituminous mixtures, bitumen, and bituminous emulsions in accordance with applicable standards, assessing critical parameters such as binder content, Marshall stability, mechanical performance and adhesion properties. Through coring, skid resistance testing, surface texture measurement and drainage assessment, we evaluate the in-service performance of pavements, helping prevent premature deterioration, safety hazards and costly maintenance.
