Soil Testing
Soils from ground investigations for new works can be tested for classification and to evaluate their chemical, compaction, consolidation, and permeability and shear strength characteristics. Additionally, soils and materials can be tested as part of investigations into remaining life, maintenance requirements and premature failure of earthworks, foundations, roads and structures.
Tests that Lincs Laboratory holds UKAS accreditation for include: -
Classification Tests
- Atterberg Limits
- Moisture Content
- Particle Size & Density
Physical Characteristics
- California Bearing Ratio
- Dry Density/Moisture Content Relationship
- Advice on Ground Investigation and soil testing requirements and results can be obtained from our Geotechnical Consultancy.
